SPORT
favourite sports:- Surfing, basketball and football
"When I was younger I played Gaelic football and a bit of basket ball, but I was never really a soccer player as I wasn’t that good. Gaelic football was my sport because nobody would get in my way! It was that type of thing “ Get outta the way or I’ll bust you.”

MUSIC
"I think my family influenced me musically. When I was growing up there was a
violin playing in one room, a piano playing in another room, there was an a
electric guitar, there was a bass guitar. There was just this array of
instruments coming out of the house."
Kian The Rock God 17/05/02
When oldsters magazine Q caught up with Westlife on tour Kian let slip his
musical tastes. He told their roving reporting, "I'm sick of people thing we're
just another pop band. I'm a rock fan. I listen to Metallica and Faith No More.
I play a mean electric guitar." And he's not the only Westlife rocker. Bryan
also revealed that he's been secretly writing songs for a rock band. For other
confessions and pictures - including Bryan's tattoos and his take on recent pop
slits (Five, Steps and Boyzone all hated each other apparently)
All the Egan clan are musical
Piano
Kian's elder brother, Gavin is a music teacher and taught Kian to play
piano from an early age. If he hadn't have succeeded with Westlife he would have
considered a career teaching piano
Guitar
"When I was about ten, I dreamed of being a rock star. I started
playing the guitar and actually taught myself before I had any proper lessons. I
used to love rock bands like Metallica, Guns 'N' Roses, Iron Maiden and Bon Jovi,
and I was always practising loud guitar solos and jamming with friends."

Poetry
"When I was four, I went in for my first talent competition.
They're a big tradition in our country and kids get to perform anything they
want: poetry reading, singing, dancing, playing an instrument; you can do just
about anything. At the first one I recited a poem called whispers at a hotel in
Sligo. I won and still have the little trophy."
