Harry Styles
Harry Styles is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, and film actor born on February 1, 1994, in Redditch, United Kingdom.
He was educated at Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School before his musical career began in 2010 as part of One Direction. The group continued until 2016, when they went on an indefinite hiatus. During that period, Styles developed his work across pop and rock, laying the groundwork for what would follow once the band stepped back from recording and touring.
After One Direction's hiatus, Styles released his eponymous debut solo album in 2017. That same period produced the UK number-one single "Sign of the Times," marking a notable moment in his transition to a solo career. Alongside his music, Styles has also worked as a film actor, extending his professional activity beyond the recording studio. He is additionally recognized as an activist and humanitarian, roles that run alongside his work in the entertainment industry.
Styles has drawn on a range of genres throughout his career, including pop, rock, Britpop, soft rock, and traditional folk music, all delivered in English. Those varied genre commitments give his recorded output a breadth that moves between the polished end of mainstream pop and more textured, guitar-driven sounds.
