Challenging, unconventional, talented, already very successful, declares “I love all kinds of challenges” and he amply proves it with the way he lives. The former member of One Direction was born on February 1, 1994 in the Holmes Chapel area of Cheshire. His parents, Des and Anne Stiles, divorced when he was 7 years old. He maintained a good relationship with his father, but lived with his mother and his sister, Gemma Stiles. In 2010 he took part in the British X-Factor with the song Isn’t She Lovely giving him the right to participate. There Simon Cowell created the band One Direction together with Styles and Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik – he stayed for some years in the group winning the impressions, love and attention of the public, planning with careful steps the its own distinct course.
He made his solo debut in 2017 with a 6-minute ballad, “Sign of the Times,” which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Other singles released were “Kiwi” and “Two Ghosts”. Then, his first album called “Harry Styles” was released on May 13, 2017. In the same year, he made his film debut with his participation in the movie “Dunkirk”, by Christopher Nolan. In the film, the well-known – until then – singer played a British soldier named Alex who took part in the evacuation of Dunkirk during the Second World War.
His second album entitled “Fine Line” was released on December 13, 2019. Earlier, 3 singles from this album had already been released, “Lights up”, “Watermelon Sugar” and “Adore You”. The album, in its very first week of release, took third place in the charts of Great Britain and first place in America, with total sales of 478,000 units. Like the previous one, this album has many influences from previous decades and can be described as pop-rock. Immediately after the release of his latest album, the tour that will accompany his album called “Harry Styles: Love on Tour” was announced, starting in 2021.
Of course, apart from his career in singing and the music industry, Harry Styles stands out for his special style and his always well-groomed appearances, having established himself as a fashion icon, culminating in the solo cover of Vogue in December 2020 (the only male cover story in the magazine). While he has also taken part as a model in major campaigns of leading fashion houses, such as Gucci.
Styles’ involvement in the Olivia Wilde-directed film Don’t Worry Darling sparked a romance that has been making headlines since they were caught holding hands at a wedding , only at the beginning of January 2021.
What is love
For the most part, Styles’ relationship history remains a mystery. A quick rundown of the women he’s been romantically linked to: Caroline Flack in 2011, Taylor Swift from 2012 to 2013, Kendall Jenner from 2015 to 2016, and Camille Rowe from 2017 to 2019. While he himself has rarely opened up about his relationships, he has spoken on occasion about what “love” means to him.
“When I see pictures from that day, I think: Relationships are hard, at any age. And on top of not really understanding how it all works, being 18 didn’t make it any easier. I mean, you’re starting off a little awkward. You’re on a date with someone you really like. It should be that simple, right? It was definitely a learning experience.” (In 2016 talking about what it’s like to be famous and date famous… in regards to his relationship with Taylor Swift).
While Styles has never publicly declared his sexuality, he has been an outspoken supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. Some highlights include Styles saying that gender wasn’t an important criteria for his own dating in 2014.
At a concert in Stockholm, Sweden during his first solo album, Styles made his stance clear beyond having pride flags on stage, stating: “If you’re black, if you’re white, if you’re gay, if you’re straight, if you’re transgender – whoever you are, whoever you fall in love with, I’ll support you – I love you all.”
However, where he feels real freedom to speak and express himself honestly about everything he feels or is concerned with is his music. After all, he often writes autobiographically in the lyrics of his songs. Everything comes through in his music and songs: “It’s not like I ever sat down and did an interview and said, ‘So I was in a relationship and this happened.’ Because for me, music is where I let it go. It’s the only place, strangely enough, where it feels right to let it go.”
“If one heart fits another like a puzzle piece, maybe you could be the other half I’m missing.”
“I wouldn’t say I could fall in love at first sight, but maybe it just hasn’t happened to me yet.”
“Do not choose what is beautiful in the world. But rather, choose what makes your world beautiful.”
