About Liam
Payne
Liam Payne's
music has been streamed over two billion times to date.
Upon singing to Capitol Records UK in 2016, he released his
debut single 'Strip That Down' featuring Quavo. The single was a
worldwide hit, topping the US charts and has since totalled over 10
million sales across the globe. It is certified Platinum in five
countries including the UK and USA, and was one of the biggest selling
singles of 2017, as well as the biggest selling solo single from
any current member of One Direction.
He has since collaborated with some of the hottest acts of the
pop music world today, including superstar DJ/producer Zedd on 'Get
Low' and more recently J Balvin, the Latin American megastar who
joined Liam for the hit single 'Familiar'. The track spent 16 weeks
on the UK singles charts and has been streamed over 110 million
times on Spotify alone, and was named Choice Latin Song for Liam at
this year's Teen Choice Awards.
Earlier this year, Liam released his duet with Rita Ora, 'For You' - UK top ten hit which spent
17 weeks on the UK singles chart and featured on the Fifty Shades
Freed official soundtrack.
In August of this year, Liam released his debut EP 'First Time'.
The 4-track release includes the lead single and title track which
features French Montana. The EP was met with widespread excitement
and acclaim, with the Daily Star remarking: "Some of his most
emotive and passionate music yet...certainly worth the wait" in
their 5-star review of the EP.
More music will be released from Liam in due course – he is
currently in the studio putting the final touches to his debut
album.
