Latest News (Dec 31, 2025): Harry Styles surprised fans on December 27, 2025, by uploading a new video titled "Forever, Forever" to his YouTube channel, an instrumental track previously performed at his "Love On Tour" finale in July 2023, ending over two years of new music content silence and fueling speculation about his fourth solo album.
Early Life and Education
Harry Edward Styles was born on February 1, 1994, in Redditch, Worcestershire, England. His parents, Anne Twist and Desmond “Des” Styles, moved with him and his older sister, Gemma, to Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, during his childhood. Following his parents’ divorce when he was seven years old, his mother later remarried.
Styles attended Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School. During his time there, he was the lead singer for the band White Eskimo, which won a local Battle of the Bands competition. As a teenager, he worked part-time at the W. Mandeville Bakery in Holmes Chapel.
Career Beginnings with One Direction
In 2010, at the age of 16, Styles auditioned for the seventh season of the British televised singing competition The X Factor. After performing Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely,” he advanced through the initial rounds. Although he was eliminated as a solo contestant before the final stages, the judges decided to bring him back, along with four other eliminated contestants—Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik—to form a boy band. Styles is credited with suggesting the name One Direction for the newly formed group.
Under the mentorship of Simon Cowell, One Direction quickly gained popularity and ultimately finished in third place in the competition. Shortly after the show, the group signed a record contract with Cowell’s label, Syco Records.
Rise to Global Stardom
One Direction achieved significant global success. Their debut single, “What Makes You Beautiful,” released in 2011, was a commercial hit, and their first album, Up All Night, topped charts in numerous countries. The band went on to release four more successful studio albums: Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013), Four (2014), and Made in the A.M. (2015). The group became the first band in US Billboard 200 history to have their first four albums debut at number one.
Throughout their time together, One Direction embarked on multiple international tours, solidifying their status as a global phenomenon. In March 2015, Zayn Malik departed from the group. The remaining four members continued for a period before announcing an indefinite hiatus, which began in 2016, to allow the members to pursue solo projects.
Solo Career and Major Projects
Following One Direction’s hiatus, Harry Edward Styles launched a successful solo career. He established his own record label, Erskine Records, and signed with Columbia Records.
His debut, self-titled solo album was released in May 2017 and debuted at number one in the UK and the US. The lead single, “Sign of the Times,” also topped the UK singles chart. His second album, Fine Line (2019), also debuted at number one in the US and included the hit single “Watermelon Sugar,” which earned him his first Grammy Award. His third album, Harry’s House (2022), was a critical and commercial success, winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. The lead single, “As It Was,” became a global bestseller.
In addition to his music career, Styles has ventured into acting. He made his feature film debut in Christopher Nolan’s 2017 war film Dunkirk. His subsequent acting roles include appearances in Eternals (2021) and leading roles in Don’t Worry Darling (2022) and My Policeman (2022).
Styles is also recognized for his distinctive fashion sense and has been involved in several campaigns with the luxury brand Gucci. In November 2021, he launched his own beauty and lifestyle brand, Pleasing. The brand later expanded to include a sexual wellness line called Pleasing Yourself.
