Zain Javadd Malik, better known as Zayn Malik (born
January 12, 1993), is a member of One Direction.Zayn was born in West Lane, Baildon, Bradford, England to British Pakistani
father Yasser Malik and English mother Patricia. He has one older sister,
Doniya, and two younger sisters, Waliyha and Safaa. Zayn grew up in East
Bowling, located south of the Bradford city centre. He was a student at Lower
Fields Primary School in East Bowling and went to Tong High School, a state
comprehensive school.In 2010, when he was 17 years old, Zayn auditioned in Manchester for the
seventh series of The X Factor.
He sang "Let Me Love You" by Mario. All three judges — Simon, Louis, and Nicole — gave him a 'yes'. His audition was initially
not broadcast, but was later shown on The Xtra Factor.
He was noted for becoming nervous in bootcamp, and when he was told he had to
dance, he decided to remain backstage, effectively running the risk of
elimination. Simon noticed Zayn missing from the dance routine and
went backstage and convinced him to return.
Following The X Factor, One Direction signed a record contract with
Sony Music subsidiary Syco Music. They released their studio album, Up
All Night.Zayn is of English and Pakistani descent. He and his family are rumored to be
Muslim, but it has not been confirmed. He has a dog named Boris.
On 29 February 2012, Zayn left One Direction's tour
to return to the UK and be with his family due to the death of a family
member.[1]
Zayn smokes cigarettes. In late 2011, he announced that his New Year's
resolution is to quit smoking.
He has seven tattoos: a Yin Yang on his wrist, a picture of crossed fingers
on his forearm, his grandfather's name, Walter, in Arabic on his chest, a "born
lucky" symbol, a playing card on his side, and a chinese symbol on his hip
(which was later covered by a heart), a native new Zealand fantail on his neck
and an inscription across his collarbone. Malik tweeted that it meant "be true
to who you are".

Zayn dated fellow The X Factor contestant Geneva Lane briefly.[2]
Afterwards, he began dating another fellow X Factor contestant, Rebecca Ferguson which caused controversy because of
the six year age difference. The relationship ended after 4 months together. In
November 2011 Rebecca stated in an interview: "Me and Zayn just grew apart. I
wish him all the best."
Zayn is currently dating Perrie Edwards from Little Mix. They met when One
Direction performed on the eighth season of The X Factor. They were
rumored to be dating, but neither confirmed being in a relationship with each
other. In May 2012 pictures that seem to confirm they're romantically involved
appeared.
