One Direction star Niall Horan has been philosophising about his love of music.

The singer has catapulted from being a virtual unknown pre-X Factor 2010 to becoming a global superstar in the last year.

The Irishman took to Twitter last night (November 22) to express his joy at forging a career out of music.

He proclaimed that music is "incredible" and said the fact that most people like some kind of music is "epic". The singer tweeted:

"Everytime i listen to our band ! it just makes me think...this is why i love music soo much..its an incredible thing. sorry to be all wierd now but when u think about it...some people dont like certain things..but when it comes to music, no matter who u are,where ur from..what kinda personality you've got ...everyone love music of some sort. ..thats what is epic about it."

He concluded: "Cant wait to play with our band at MSG and the world tour..when im at home.. i never put the guitar down..have it in my hand right now."
