0:00.0	Hello, and welcome to Unfiltered. My name is Oli Dugmore, and my guest today is a musician.
0:06.1	Born in Mullingar Island in 1993, his life was normal. By the age of 16, he was one of the most
0:12.2	famous people in the world. Part of the biggest boy band since the Beatles won direction.
0:17.3	Reflecting on that moment, he said, my childhood was cut short. I never really got the chance to
0:22.3	finish school. After the first audition, I packed up everything in my life in a bag. I didn't
0:27.6	realize at the time that when I was stuffing clothes into a little suitcase, that was pretty much
0:32.1	me leaving home for good. His dad says he went into that audition and never came back. My guest
0:38.1	today is Nile Horan. How's it going, pal? Hello. Hello, Oli. That was, that was a hell of an intro.
0:43.6	You reckon? Yeah, very good. We're off to a crack and start. The vibes are just in Mac.

1:23.8	I love the idea of like walking past the stage, seeing a band I've never seen before. Half-cut.
1:30.7	And then convincing that person to stay in listen to music. Yeah, so that's going to be my
1:34.0	challenge is there will be people there that know exactly who I am and would be fans, I'd imagine
1:39.1	them towards the barrier and then hopefully the idea is to get a few more drunken lads on the way
1:45.1	to get a burger or something. That's the end. And that'll be your third album. I tried to sort of
1:51.2	do the numbers on what you've sold since going solo. I could only find sort of the American ones
