Styles was raised in a small village of Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, along with his sister, Gemma. As a child, he attended Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School. After his parent’s divorce, he got very depressed and often cried out of helplessness. He took up his first job at a Bakery, when he turned sixteen.

Styles auditioned for the seventh series of the British singing competition, The X Factor, as a solo candidate. His dreams were shattered when he failed to progress to the "Boys" category, along with four others in his age group. However, his destiny had a different plan for him, as Nicole Scherzinger, a guest judge on the show, suggested him and the four others, to form a five-piece boy band, during the boot camp stage of the competition. They auditioned again and qualified for the "Groups" category. Subsequently, the group got together and practiced a lot for two weeks, and it was Styles who came up with the name, One Direction. For their qualifying song and their first song as a band, they sang an acoustic version of "Torn"; it won the heart of the judge, Simon Cowell Anyone who watches America's Got Talent is no >> Read More... - who later commented that the group’s performance convinced him that they "were confident, fun, like a gang of friends, and kind of fearless as well."

After the show ended, One Direction signed a £2 million record contract, with Simon Cowell's Syco Records. They began recording for their debut album in January 2011, and they also flew to Los Angeles, to work with the record producer, Red One. Recording for their debut album took place in London, Los Angeles, and Stockholm, as One Direction worked with producers Steve Mac, Rami Yacoub, Savan Kotecha and Carl Falk, among others.
