Harry Styles
“If you're happy doing what you're doing, then nobody can tell you you're not successful.”
Harry Edward Styles, born February 1, 1994, in Redditch, Worcestershire, is a world-renowned English singer, songwriter, and actor. He rose to international prominence in 2010 as a member of the boy band One Direction, which became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. Following the band's indefinite hiatus in 2016, Styles launched a highly successful solo career, debuting with his self-titled rock-influenced album Harry Styles (2017) which featured the hit single 'Sign of the Times.'
Over the next decade, Styles transformed into a global pop icon and fashion trendsetter. His second album, Fine Line (2019), debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and spawned the Grammy-winning hit 'Watermelon Sugar.' In 2022, he released Harry's House, a massive critical and commercial success that won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and featured the record-breaking single 'As It Was.' Alongside his music, Styles has established a budding acting career, appearing in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk (2017), the thriller Don't Worry Darling (2022), and the drama My Policeman (2022).
