Zayn Malik is a British R&B Singer and Songwriter, who gained popularity through the music competition, X-Factor. Zayn was a contestant in the music competition X-Factor, where he was called back after being eliminated as a solo artist, with four other eliminations who were brought back and Zayn, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson formed the band One Direction. He left the band in March 2015 and signed up a contract with RCA Records and released his solo album Life of Mine on 25 March 2016.
