Harry Edward Styles
, born 1 February 1994
is from village Holmes Chapel, Cheshire,
England. He is a former pupil at Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School,
a state comprehensive school. Born to mother Anne Cox and father Des Styles,]he
has an older sister, Gemma, he was seven when their parents divorced; his
mother later remarried to Robin Twist. Regarding his parents divorce he said,
"that was quite a weird time. I remember crying about it. I didn’t really
get what was going on properly, I was just sad that my parents wouldn't be
together any more." Following the divorce, Styles, his older sister and
his mother moved further out into the Cheshire countryside. At the age of
twelve he moved back to Holmes Chapel. That was when his mother met his stepfather
Robin Twist. Styles said he was "really pleased" when Twist proposed
to his mother. Styles was the lead singer for the band White Eskimo with band
members lead guitarist Haydn Morris, bass guitarist Nick Clough and drummer
Will Sweeny. They had once entered a Battle of the Bands competition, which
they won. Before The X Factor, then sixteen-year old Styles had a
part-time job at the Holmes Chapel, W Mandeville Bakery.[
As a child, Styles loved singing, noting Elvis
Presley as one of his influences. He also cites Presley for his musical
beginnings.[
Styles also cites current musical acts, Foster
the People, Coldplay
and Kings
of Leon among his influences. "We want to have a little bit heavier
guitars, bigger drums, more of a live feel, because that's what we like
doing," Styles says for their next album. "Because we are 18 years
old, it's important that we like what we’re doing as well. It wouldn't be good
if we weren’t enjoying what we're doing, and we are." Styles states that The
X Factor gave him "a lot more" confidence as a performer and
singer. Styles says that he often looks to Coldplay front man Chris
Martin for inspiration when performing on stage. Styles also states that The Beatles
had a profound influence on him growing up, as his father would play their
music. "I still listen to their music over and over again. They are
absolute icons and an inspiration," he said. He briefly dated English
television presenter Caroline Flack, which caused widespread media
controversy over their fifteen-year age gap.
