He had set his heart on athletics by focusing on running. He would run for five miles daily but he missed a spot on the athletic club when he was 14. After that he set his heart on his love for music.
The Original Audition

talent to an excellent level by joining Pink Productions at Wolverhampton. It was the place where he showed his talent to a live audience.

Although he was highly favored by all the judges, Simon Cowell, told him he was not ready for the fierce competition and told him to come back after two years.

The Return to The X Factor
Exactly two years after the initial audition, Liam Payne, auditioned again for The X Factor. He sang the song Cry Me A River, and received a standing ovation from the audience. All the judges gave him a yes, including Simon. It was the start of his real musical career. But there were still so many things he had to improve on.

The Stint With One Direction
Although Liam Payne impressed the judges, Simon Cowell saw something else that he had to work on. He needed to have versatility because he was being one-dimentional in his song interpretation.
