Artist Profiles > Ed Sheeran
He innocently broke onto our TV screens in 2011 after performing relentlessly around the UK during his teen years, with the legendary song "The A Team". After independently releasing his own first EP, he was signed to Asylum Records to release his first album "+" which went quintuple platinum in the UK and led to him winning several awards which included Best British Male, Solo Artist and Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2011.
His personal life has also led to inspiration for his second album, "X". He became close friends with fellow pop star Taylor Swift, who is, incidentally, Harry Styles' (Ed's friend) ex. This led to a track, as well as a song released, regarding Ellie Goulding, who cheated on him with 1D's Niall Horan. Hell, that's confusing! Regardless, he is the UK's hottest male property right now, so expect more from Ed for years to come!
