Harry Styles – The Early Years
Born in 1994 in Redditch, Worcestershire, England, Harry Edward Styles is a pop star and actor. He is the son of Desmond “Des” Styles, a financier, and Anne Twist, a landlady. Styles moved to the village of Holmes Chapel in Cheshire with his older sister, Gemma, and his parents when he was young.
His parents divorced when he was seven years old. His mom remarried her business partner, John Cox, and the couple divorced a few years later. She later entered her third marriage with Robin Twist in 2013.
Styles has a stepbrother, Mike, and a stepsister, Amy. Robin Twist died from complications with cancer in 2017. Harry says he was supported by his parents during his aspirations of becoming a pop star in his early youth. The actor received a karaoke machine as a birthday present from his grandfather as a young boy. His first venture into music came from forming the band ‘White Eskimo’ with friends from school. The band entered a local ‘Battle of the Bands’ competition, winning the event with Harry as the lead singer in the group.
Harry got his big break in 2010 after his mother convinced him to compete in ‘X-Factor.’
Harry Styles – One Direction
After trying out for the seventh season of ‘X-Factor’ in 2010, Styles failed to impress the judges in the ‘solo’ category. During the show, he was grouped together with four other male solo contestants in the ‘groups’ category.
The boy band consisted of Harry performing alongside Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson. The collective named themselves ‘One Direction.’ Styles is credited with naming the group. However, the boy band only landed third place during the competition.
Despite the third-place finish, the group gained huge popularity across the UK. In early 2011, ‘X-Factor’ judge, Simon Cowell, signed One Direction to his ‘Syco Records’ label, offering the group a £2 million ($2.2 million) contract.
The boy band released its debut studio album, ‘Up All Night, in late 2011. One Direction became the first UK boy band to achieve the status of number one on the US charts with a debut album. The group’s second studio production, ‘Take Me Home,’ was released a year later in late 2012, achieving similar success.
The band’s third studio album ‘Midnight Memories’ in November 2013, and ‘Four’ a year later in November 2014. One Direction is the first group in the US Billboard 200 chart history to see their first four albums debut in the top spot.
The band released their fifth and final studio album, ‘Made in the A.M.’ in late 2015, with Malik departing from the group before its production and release. One Direction is possibly the most successful boy band in UK history, winning seven American Music Awards, seven BRIT Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, and six Billboard Music Awards.
Harry Styles – Solo Career
One Direction disbanded after the release of ‘Four.’ After taking a brief hiatus, Harry Styles announced his solo career in August 2015. The artist launched ‘Erskine Records’ in 2016, signing a recording contract with Columbia Records in 2016. Coincidently, Columbia also produced all the records for One Direction.
Harry’s debut solo single, ‘Sign of the Times,’ was released in April 2017, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the UK Singles Chart. The music video for the track won the ‘British Music Video’ of the year at the Brit awards.
Harry made his solo TV debut in the UK on ‘The Graham Norton Show,’ and his US debut was on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ The singer released his debut album ‘Harry’ in May 2017, achieving massive industry acclaim.
Styles embarked on a tour to promote the album, ‘Harry Styles: Live on Tour,’ featured from September 2017 to July 2018, stopping in North and South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. The artist released his second studio album, ‘Fine Line’ in October 2019.
The artist topped the US charts, smashing the record for the biggest sales debut from a British male singer in the United States. He received a 2020 Brit Award nomination for ‘British Album of the Year’ and ‘British Male Solo Artist.’
Styles also has talent as a songwriter. He wrote several tracks for his group, One Direction, including the single ‘Best Song Ever.’ Styles’ collaborative songwriting includes contributions to ‘Just a Little Bit of Your Heart’ by Ariana Grande and ‘Someday’ with Michael Bublé.
Harry Styles – Touring
Harry has made a fortune from album sales, but touring also contributes significantly to his net worth. The 2017 ‘Harry Styles: Live on Tour’ raked in $63 million from 80 tour stops. His second live tour, ‘Love on Tour,’ debuted in the fall of 2021.
‘Love on Tour’ accumulated nearly $95 million in gross sales from 42 tour stops. The tour sold close to 720,000 tickets, earning Harry an estimated $2.25 million per stop. Harry also appeared at Madison Square Garden for a five-night performance in New York City.
The success of the shows led to a 15-night residency at the Garden in NYC in 2021, selling 93,000 tickets, and generating $13.8 million in revenue. The final show of the residency generated a staggering $3.2 million in ticket sales.
Harry Styles – Actor and Producer
Harry Styles is one of the most successful male pop stars in history. However, he’s also made a successful debut and career as an actor. The artist made his screen debut in Christopher Nolan’s epic, ‘Dunkirk.’
The 2017 film was a commercial success, but there’s no information on how much Harry made from his contribution to the film. The production earned a nomination at the Oscars, with industry pundits praising Harry’s performance.
Harry made his second on-screen appearance in the MCU title, ‘The Eternals.’ However, the movie didn’t receive the same praise as ‘Dunkirk.’ According to industry insiders, Harry earned $380,000 for his role in the film.
The actor’s third on-screen performance was in the movie ‘Don’t Worry Darling,’ directed by his girlfriend, Olivia Wilde. The movie was the subject of controversy, creating a feud between Florence Pugh, the film’s star, Wilde, Chris Pine, and Styles.
Styles reportedly banked $2.5 million for the role, with Pugh receiving a paltry $700,00 for the lead, sparking the controversy. Harry also plays the lead role in the Amazon Prime series, ‘My Policeman.’ The singer/actor also took on an executive producer role in the 2018 CBS sitcom ‘Happy Together.’
However, the series got canceled in 2019 after failing to build a viewership. The show’s first season featured 13 episodes, with Harry reportedly earning between $30,000 to $100,000 for his work on the show. Harry Styles seems to have a promising career in acting and producing ahead of him.
