Brian Nicholas McFadden in real life was born on April 20, 1980, at the Rotunda Hospital, in Dublin Ireland. As a growing up child, Bryan had had a problem with his being overweight. Nonetheless, with his tall frame, his issue with his weight and getting bullied has come to an end. He has had so many schools that he attended when he was a growing up child. The first school that he attended was St. Fiachras and was eventually expelled for throwing an elastic band at his teacher.

With the release of his debut solo single, 'Real To Me' and album fast approaching, Brian McFadden is in a relaxed and open mood. One fifth of one of the biggest boy bands in the world, now a solo artist in his own right, at the age of just 24, Brian has all the hard won wisdom of a music veteran, but with none of the cynicism. Having sold 30 million records and picked up twelve UK number 1's with Westlife, Brian’s passion for making music is undiminished and invigorating.

Brian approached the album entirely focused on the music. When Brian talks about the album he speaks with all the fresh and infectious energy of someone making their very first record. For Brian the primary aim was to make the best record possible and find a sound that truly reflects his style, all other factors were secondary. “I just really want to be an artist on my own terms making music that I am really proud of”, says Brian. “Of course I want people to like it and listen to it and hopefully they will. Westlife fans have grown up with us and I think there is space in the new sound for everyone”.

He was married to Kerry Katona, a blonde girl who used to be a member of the British girl band Atomic Kitten, in January 2002 which ended on a divorce in 2006. McFadden had two daughters with her, Molly Marie born in August 2001 and Lilly Sue in February 2003. Back in school, he is always fascinated ins studying Sciences, Math, and English and considered learning Irish his least favorite one. He has always loved the voice of Mariah Carey and Leonardo Di Caprio as his favorite actor. He is a self confessed lover of the scents of D&G and Cool Water.
