Mitch Rowland is a songwriter, guitarist and drummer best known for being part of Harry Styles’ backing band.
He co-wrote 9 out of the 10 songs on Harry's debut album, including 'Sign of the Times'.
On 'Fine Line', Mitch is credited on six songs including 'Golden' and 'To Be So Lonely'.
In short, he's hella talented.
Mitch was born on 13th July 1988, making him 32 years old.
Before landing a spot in Harry's band, Mitch was working in a pizza shop!
He was living with Harry's sound engineer when he was asked to stand in as a last minute replacement after a session musician dropped out while Haz was making his debut album.
Mitch had never been in a studio before, but Harry knew he had a lot of talent.
He said of their first meeting: "He came in and he was just a monster."
"The second day he couldn’t come down because he had to do a shift in the pizza shop."
The pair are now best friends...(Why doesn’t this stuff ever happen to me?!)
