Valencia says he got the idea to pitch this course after talking to a group of students about the impact Harry Styles has had in different areas since his rise to fame 12 years ago in a band called One Direction.
"He's one of the most popular musicians of the moment, and he's been on the world stage for over a decade now as a solo artist and a member of One Direction, so he's somebody that a lot of students really understand and note his work," he said.The focus is on Harry Styles, of course, but not so much on him as a person.
"Hopefully, what we'll be able to do is, in the same way that somebody might take a class on the Beatles to learn about the sixties, we'll take a class on Harry Styles to learn about the last 12 years or so, looking at his art, looking at his favorite literature influences, and seeing also how he's affected fans," said Valencia.
Valencia has been doing his own research for the class like visiting the singer’s hometown and attending his concerts overseas. He also plans to see Harry Styles at his 5-night residency at the Moody Center in a few months.
