Here’s where former One Direction members are, after it went in different directions

A year after Zayn left the music band, One Direction went on an infinite hiatus. But that doesn’t mean they got inactive. Rather they embarked on their solo careers with a huge stash of surprise for their fans.

The notable shift is in the genre from 1D’s inherent pop to Zayn’s R&B, Louis’s EDM-Pop, Harry’s Classic Rock, Liam’s Hip-Hop, and Niall’s soft Folk-Pop.
