About Zayn Malik

Zayn Malik is a singer and songwriter who grew up in Bradford, England. The musician first gained notoriety when he joined the English boy band One Direction on the music reality show, The X Factor. And without hesitation, he became world famous over night. With tons of smash hits and millions of record sales with the group. Malik then made a name for himself when he went solo, releasing several albums and featuring on hit singles with M.I.A. and Chris Brown.

He is also known for his on-again, off-again relationship with Gigi Hadid, one of the most famous supermodels in the world. In 2020 together they had little Khai Hadid Malik.

English singer and songwriter Zayn Malik has an estimated net worth of $75 million dollars, as of 2023. Simon Cowell put Zayn together with four other X Factor contestants founding pop boy band One Direction, in 2010. Malik is now a solo artist and has a daughter Khai, with Gigi Hadid.

Though the group of youngsters never knew each other before the show, the members of One Direction first auditioned as solo artists on The X Factor UK. Simon Cowell didn’t think that any of the British boys had the singing chops it takes to go solo at the time, but he had the foresight and was industry savvy enough to put the boys together as a boy band. Following that, the boys became One Direction and together they became a cash cow.

No other band, pop, rock, or otherwise, has had a fan base as big as One Direction since The Beatles.

At the peak of the band’s success, Morgan Spurlock, the famed documentarian best known for Supersize Me came into the picture. If you can remember he was the guy who ate a McDonald’s supersize meal three times a day for a month. And was chosen to direct the 3D documentary movie, One Direction: This Is Us, in 2013. The movie made almost seven times its budget, earning $68.5 million worldwide. Now, with One Direction no longer together, leaving millions of teenage girls’ hearts broken in their wake, Malik has become a successful solo artist in his own right.

Besides Malik’s musical background, he often made headlines due to his dating life, he was seen with several high profile singers and models. In the early 2010s, Malik was dating Perrie Edwards of Little Mix fame, and he is now in am on again, off again relationship with American supermodel and Victoria’s Secret Angel, Gigi Hadid.

One Direction’s insane success was everywhere with their upbeat songs with big red busses and perfect partnership of five brothers. Their exact relationships however remain unknown, some say they preferred to fly in their own private jets and there were storms brewing over the horizon.

Their fortune however is much more known and Malik began to really hit his note. Together as part of the boyband their sales numbers grew unstoppable.

Topping multiple charts and selling out tours worldwide. The tour behind their record Midnight Memories, “The Where We Are Tour”, grossed a massive $290 million. Which was apparently the highest grossing tour for a vocal group of all time.

There were 69 performances with total attendance of 3.4 million.

Tensions rose high however and a split in the group shattered illusions, for a moment there, it was all on him.

Malik struck out on his own and made his own decisions. In 2015 he left the group.

Many feared that it would be the worst mistake Zayn ever made – that it was madness to think that he could make it on his own. Zayn showed the world what he was made of though, overcoming the naysayers and releasing songs like “Pillow Talk” which reached 1 billion views on YouTube in September 2020.

His other high charting singles have been collaborations with other high profile artists, such as with Taylor Swift on “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” for the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack, and with Sia on “Dusk Till Dawn”. Both of those tracks hit the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 10 million copies each.

Malik clearly knew when enough was enough as he had the foresight and courage to leave the band and start his solo career in 2015. Of course that was after five successful albums with One Direction. Zayn’s first solo album was a success and he really reinvented himself. Perhaps thanks to the singer’s unique singing style and look which opened up an entirely new audience. Malik has a much more R&B approach to singing, almost completely abandoning the pop-rock blend that his bandmates continued.

His public image has significantly helped his brand, becoming known as the “Bradford bad boy”, with his rocker hairstyles, tattoos, and his off and on stage antics. The cover of his first album successfully showed this off, an edited photograph of him as a child, but covered in tattoos.

It portrayed his brand well, and was a clever marketing campaign, it even pulled in hip-hop fans with the cover being a nod to Lil Wayne’s classic record, Tha Carter III.

Unsurprisingly, Malik was also named as one of the world’s sexiest men by Glamour magazine and was voted the best dressed male by GQ.
