About Ed Sheeran

Edward Christopher Sheeran was born February 17, 1991, in Halifax, West Yorkshire, to art-curator parents John Sheeran and Imogen Lock, and was raised from age three in Framlingham, Suffolk — the small market town that gives Castle on the Hill its title and that he still lists as home. He picked up a guitar at eleven, wrote songs through his teens, moved to London at sixteen with a stack of self-released EPs and no record deal, and slept on the floors of friends' flats and on the night bus while playing every open-mic and tiny-room slot he could book. The early EPs — No. 5 Collaborations Project in 2011, recorded with London grime artists including Wiley, JME, and Devlin in defiance of the standard singer-songwriter mould — pushed him onto Atlantic and Asylum's radar and reached the UK top two without major-label distribution. The debut album + (Plus) in September 2011 produced The A Team, Lego House, and Drunk and certified five-times platinum in the UK. x (Multiply) in 2014 broke him in North America on the back of Thinking Out Loud, Sing, and Photograph, swept the Brit Awards, and put the project at the head of the global pop singer-songwriter table. ÷ (Divide) in 2017 produced Shape of You — the most-streamed song on Spotify for years — Castle on the Hill, Galway Girl, and Perfect, and the supporting Divide Tour ran across 2017 to 2019 and closed as the highest-grossing tour ever recorded. = (Equals) in 2021, written after his daughter Lyra's birth and the loss of close friend Jamal Edwards, leaned into Bad Habits and Shivers as the singles. - (Subtract) in 2023, produced with Aaron Dessner of The National in a deliberate stripped folk pivot, was a personal grief record — written after his wife Cherry's tumour diagnosis during pregnancy and Edwards's death — and reset the project's tone. Autumn Variations followed later in 2023 as a companion Dessner-produced record, and the Mathematics Tour has continued through subsequent legs at stadium scale globally. He married childhood friend Cherry Seaborn in 2018, lives in Suffolk with their two daughters, owns a small portfolio of UK pubs and restaurants, and remains signed to Atlantic and Asylum. He is a Grammy, Ivor Novello, and Brit Award winner across multiple cycles, and the only artist whose stadium-scale headline set is still genuinely performed solo with a loop pedal and an acoustic guitar.
