艺人简介

Edward "Ed" Sheeran,1991年2月17日出生于西约克郡,是大西洋唱片旗下的一位歌手同时也是一位创作人。2011年6月,他的首只单曲在The A Team空降英国单曲榜第三名。

Sheeran自幼就开始学习吉他,并且在高中时期就开始学习创作歌曲。在一次节目采访中他提到童年记忆,其中包括在无数次和父母去伦敦的途中听Van Morrison和在他11岁时和Damien Rice一起在爱尔兰看公演。

Sheeran在2005年开始录音,也在当年发行了他的首张EP The Orange Room。接着在2006年发行了自命名的专辑,在2007年发行了 Want Some? 专辑。2008年搬到伦敦参加公演,一开始在很小的场地演奏,即使观众只有5个人也仍然会每天练习和演奏。

在2009年,他参加了许多公演。Ed说他曾读到过一篇James Morrison的专访,里面提到James曾在1年里参加过200场公演。这让主流说唱艺人Example邀请他一起巡演。在2010年2月,Ed发行了他的第二张独立唱片 Loose Change 这张EP,正是这张专辑里面包含了他那首最脍炙人口的The A Team,这首歌的音乐录影带只花了20英镑。这也是他签约后首次发片。

2010年4月,他离开了以前的经纪公司,举目无亲来到了洛杉矶,一直在参加open mic nights。直到被Jamie Foxx发现并邀请他在接下来的日子里待在他家里录音。整个2010,Sheeran都通过YouTube获得了越来越多的瞩目,歌迷数目激增,甚至得到了《独立报》,英格兰国家队队长里奥•费迪南德和Elton John的看好。在2010年,他发行了多张EP,包括一张现场EP Ed Sheeran: Live at the Bedford 和一张他在威尔士与同样身为歌手和创作人的Amy Wadge合作的情歌合集 Songs I Wrote With Amy 。

2011年2月,Sheeran发行了他的最后一张独立EP No.5 Collaborations Project 。没有任何宣传,这张EP让Sheeran得到了主流的关注,第一天就卖出了7000多张,并且在iTunes榜上登上了第一名的宝座。

2011年4月12日,Ed在卡姆登市的Barfly酒吧举行了一场答谢歌迷的免费演出。有1000多名歌迷来捧场,所以Ed Sheeran以四种不同的表演形式(甚至包括一场酒吧打烊后在街上的演出)来结束演出以确保每一位歌迷都能享受到这场演出。Sheeran低估了现场歌迷的人数以至最后被围得水泄不通。

Sheeran的第一支音乐录影带 "You Need Me, I Don't Need You"在 YouTube 上取得了成功。他和Example合作的Nando's Skank在YouTube上的已有超过百万的浏览量。

2011年1月Sheeran签约了大西洋唱片公司,首先发行了一张名为No.5 Collaborations Project 的合集。2011年4月26日,Sheeran参加了一档名为Later...with Jools Holland的音乐节目,他在节目上演唱了"The A Team"。接着在2011年6月12日,"The A Team"在英国发行,这次发行是为了Sheeran即将发行的首张录音室专辑做准备。"The A Team"以第三名的成绩进入英国单曲榜,并且首周就卖出了超过58000张。这是2011年以来卖得最好的也是名次最高的处女碟。Sheeran宣布"You Need Me"会在2011年8月28日,作为专辑中的第二张单曲发行。

2012年在第32届全英音乐奖中荣获英国最佳男艺人、英国最具突破艺人、英国最佳单曲和英国最佳专辑四项提名。

2014年第二张专辑《X》在英国销售达170万张。2015年在全英音乐奖颁奖盛典荣获“年度最佳男歌手”两项大奖。

2016年2月,在第58届格莱美音乐奖获得年度单曲和最佳流行歌手奖。
