Just because Ed Sheeran, is only 20 years old but is already one hell of a story! We don’t know where to start; with his amazing song Little Lady together with Mikill Pane, his age of only 20, his intens lyrics, the way he beated James Morrison, his sofa surfing story, his going on my own to LA story or his collaborations with almost all big grime artists.
In April 2010, after leaving his old management company, he bought a ticket to LA, with no contacts other than one poetry night. He played open mic nights all over LA, before being spotted by Jamie Foxx who invited him to stay at his house and record for the rest of his stay. Throughout 2010, Sheeran’s fan-base grew incredibly by YouTube, together with also getting credit from The Indepent newspaper, England football captain Rio Ferdinand and even Elton John.On 9 January 2011, Sheeran released his final independent EP, No.5 Collaborations Project featuring appearances by lots of grime artists. With this EP, Sheeran gained mainstream attention for reaching number 1 in the iTunes chart without any promotion or label, selling over 7,000 copies in its first week.
His first headline tour around the UK sold out in a matter of hours.
One of his other hits is his cover of Jamie Woon – Wayfaring Stranger .
