Horan is well known because he was one of the five members of the popular boy-band, One Direction, which was formed in 2010.

“I was a One Direction fan and I wanted to listen to all of their solo albums, because I wanted to see their personalities come through.” says Caroline Corcoran (’21).

Horan has worked on this album for the past year and a half.
