Profession
On April 11, 2010, at the suggestion of his mother, Harry Styles participated in the solo competition of the seventh season of the popular British TV singing competition “The X Factor” and sang the song “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder. He then entered the training camp, but unfortunately failed to make further progress.
Four other people of his age also failed, but were put together as a group during the training camp phase of the competition in July 2010, thus qualifying for the “Group” category and receiving coaching from Simon Cowell. The group consisted of Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik, who practiced together for two weeks.
Harry Styles suggested to his bandmates that they name the band One Direction and they agreed. Soon they began to gain fame in the UK, so much so that within the first four weeks of live performances they became Simon Cowell’s last performer in the competition. Hard work and perseverance eventually led the group to the final of The X Factor, where they finished an impressive third place.
In addition, One Direction signed a record contract with Simon Cowell’s record company Syco Records in January 2011 and released their first single “What Makes You Beautiful” and their first studio album ” Staying up all nightand launched later that year.
Their next four studio albums, 2012’s Take Me Home, 2013’s Midnight Memories, 2014’s Four and 2015’s Made in the AM, all reached number one in the UK. Midnight Memories became the best-selling album of 2013 worldwide, and its follow-up, Where We Are Tour, became the highest-grossing tour of 2014 and the highest-grossing tour of all time by a vocal group.
Not wanting to “exhaust” their fans, the band unexpectedly took an indefinite break in 2016 after completing promotional work related to Made in the AM, at the suggestion of Harry Styles.
During their career, One Direction has sold an impressive 70 million records worldwide, 7.6 million albums and 26 million singles in the United States, making them one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. As expected, the group has received numerous accolades and recognitions, including seven Brit Awards, seven American Music Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, including four MTV Video Music Awards.
While in the band, Harry Styles co-wrote the song “Just a Little Bit of Your Heart” for American singer Ariana Grande, which was included in her 2014 album “My Everything”.
As a solo artist, Harry Styles joined Jeffrey Azoff’s Full Stop Management and a talent agency called CAA, and signed a record contract with Columbia Records in early 2016.

Harry Styles and his collaborators spent a two-month writing retreat there in the fall.

It was subsequently generally well received by critics and peaked at number two in the UK and topped the US charts, breaking the record for the highest-selling debut album by a British male artist in the US since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking it in 1991.
