He attended Summerhill College secondary school, in Sligo. He plays many instruments inside and outside the group, including the piano and guitar and was a former member of Sligo punk rock group Skrod and was in a pop group called IOU with fellow Westlife members Shane Filan and Mark Feehily as well as Graham Keighron, Michael "Miggles" Garrett and Derek Lacy.

His family includes his parents: Patricia and Kevin; his brothers: Tom, Gavin, and Colm; and his sisters: Marielle, Vivienne, and Fenella.

-"The days are gone when you could just put five good-looking lads on stage and that'd be it. You need to be so talented and that's why we'll make it" (Kian explains why Westlife'll be the next big band).
-"When I broke up with my first serious girlfriend I was absolutely gutted. One night I was at this club, and of course, my ex-girlfriend was there. After a few drinks I got a little emotional and I ended up just slumped in a corner crying my eyes out all night."
-"I was in a holiday centre where this event called the Community Games was taking place. It must have been around midnight and I was sitting on this railing out on a balcony which was a bit wet. Next thing you know, my foot slipped and I fell back. Luckily enough my foot got caught in a clothes line which broke my fall. I fell head first about two storeys and I was still knocked unconscious with a dislocated shoulder. Who knows what would have happened without that washing line?!" (Kian describes how his life was saved by a washing line).
-"Nicky's terrified about being stuck in a lift so I'm always dragging him into them, jumping up and down, pretending it's stuck.'
