It would be easy to assume that due to his affinity for all things pop that Harry Styles was probably inspired by acts such as Michael Jackson, Prince and Justin Timberlake. However, those who know the singer well will be quick to point out that it was the indie and rock ‘n’ roll genres that served as the catalyst for Styles’ foray into music. As a young man, he was strongly inspired by bands such as The Beatles and Coldplay. Perhaps these influences will begin to show themselves in the singer’s new music, as he inked a three album solo deal with Columbia back in 2016.
