Humble beginnings

The former one direction star was born in 1993 in Bradford in a working-class family. He grew up in East Bowling, located south of the Bradford city center. He grew up in a close-knit family with his father Yaser Malik from Pakistan and his mother Patricia Brannan Malik from England.

During his childhood, his father was the parent who tended to the domestic duties at home whilst his mother went to work. The singer is the only male sibling in the family of six.

The start of his career

We all remember the moments when the members of One Direction auditioned on X-Factor. Malik had initially auditioned as a solo contestant for the British music competition, X-Factor, back in 2010.

But Zayn wasn’t seen as a strong enough solo artist or perhaps his youth and lack of experience made the judges feel he would be better as part of a band. And so, here was the pivotal moment where One Direction was born. No one could see how popular this group was about to come or could ever imagine that Zayn Malik’s net worth is what it is today.

Zayn’s solo career

As he grew older Zayn felt that it was his time to go it alone. In 2015 he decided to leave the group which at the time devasted fans of the group. But, he went on to sign with RCA Records. And – he certainly proved the judges wring as his solo career has been massively successful with the likes of Pillowtalk and Dusk til Dawn remaining on the charts for a considerable amount of time. His audience changed from teenage to a more widespread age range.
