The beginning of Harry Styles’ career is considered to be in 2010 when he came to the casting of The X Factor. The first test was the judge’s audition. The performer presented an unremarkable track and was criticized by a jury member, Nicole Scherzinger. After the competition day came to an end, Nicole advised several musicians to team up and try to audition again. Harry suggested a name for the created group – “One direction”.
The world’s oldest label, Columbia Records, has been promoting the band’s debut album. In 2012, the album “Up all night” started from the first lines of the most popular charts. The album’s flagship single topped the world’s charts, with record sales. In the second half of 2012, the second album was released, followed by a world tour that grossed over $ 15 million. By 2015, the guys felt that they had achieved everything they wanted. The composition of the group has changed, and the producer announced a break in creative activity. This period allowed Harry Styles to pursue a solo career and try other roles. In 2017, the musician released a solo single, which topped the charts in several countries. The song “Sing of the Times” became one of the best in 2017. In the spring, a studio album was released, consisting of 10 tracks. The artist’s second album went on sale in 2019. The album “Fine Line” includes twelve songs. Stiles has received three Grammy nominations at once.
