Punk Goes Pop
He might have gotten famous in One Direction, but Styles’ first band experience was in high school. He joined the pop-punk band called White Eskimo, performing in several talent shows and a wedding. Everyone who saw the band knew Styles had incredible talent, and he loved performing for people.

Styles heard that X Factor was holding auditions and brought the idea of auditioning up to his bandmate, Will Sweeny. Sweeny supported Styles’ desire to be on the show but didn’t think much would come of it. He thought his friend would have a great experience and come home after.
