Malik grew up in Bradford’s East Bowling, in a working-class family and neighbourhood. In Bradford, he attended Lower Fields Primary School and Tong High School (now Tong Leadership Academy). As a teenager, he participated in school plays and took acting classes. He spent his childhood listening to his father’s R&B, hip hop, and reggae records.

When singer Jay Sean visited his school, he wrote raps and sang on stage for the first time. From the age of 15 to 17, Malik also boxed for two years. Prior to embarking on his musical career, he intended to pursue an academic degree in English with the goal of becoming an English teacher.

Career

One Direction

In 2010, Malik auditioned for the British music competition The X Factor as a solo contestant. After being eliminated as a solo performer, Malik was brought back into the competition to form the boy band One Direction with four other contestants. One Direction went on to become one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.

The group quickly gained popularity in the United Kingdom, finished third, and were subsequently signed to a reported £2 million Syco Records record contract by Cowell. They later signed with Columbia Records in North America.

Their albums Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013), Four (2014), and Made in the A.M. (2015) topped charts in the majority of major markets.

They went on four world tours, two of which were all-stadium affairs. The band’s Where We Are Tour, in support of Midnight Memories, grossed $290.2 million, making it the highest-grossing concert tour in 2014, the highest-grossing tour by a vocal group in history, and the 15th highest-grossing concert tour of all time.

The band has sold 70 million records worldwide as of 2020, making them one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. Seven Brit Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, seven American Music Awards (including Artist of the Year in 2014 and 2015), and 28 Teen Choice Awards have been bestowed upon the band.

Solo career

Malik left the band in March 2015 and signed a solo recording deal with RCA Records. With his debut studio album, Mind of Mine (2016), and its lead single, “Pillowtalk,” Malik became the first British male artist to debut at number one in both the UK and the US, with both his debut single and debut album.

His collaboration singles, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” with Taylor Swift and “Dusk Till Dawn” with Sia, were both commercial successes on a global scale. Icarus Falls, Malik’s second studio album, was released in 2018. Nobody Is Listening, his third album, was released in January 2021.

Fashion career

In January 2017, he collaborated with Italian footwear designer Giuseppe Zanotti to launch a shoe line.

Donatella Versace, Versace’s chief designer, appointed Malik as creative director for a men’s and women’s capsule collection called Zayn x Versus, which was released in May 2017.
