It’s understandable that Ed Sheeran is one of the hottest
singers around right now. His music is easy to like. Sheeran is headlining Summerfest 2015 on July 3. Although he is quite young, he’s already found
himself to be a multi platinum, award winning musician. His first album, titled “+” came out in 2011.
Since then, he’s written music for films, television, and pop stars such as One
Direction, and more. He’s since been
nominated for over ninety music related awards, but the one that stands out the
most is his 2015 Grammy nomination for the song “I See Fire.”
Sheeran trained his voice by singing in his church choir,
and worked very hard at his craft during his high school years. His first foray into the music business
started out just like most others, when he released his work without a record
label backing him up. In 2005, he put out an EP titled The Orange Room. Four
years later, he released yet another EP, this one titled You Need Me. Two years
later, Sheeran took a huge risk, and flew to Los Angeles to play on any stage
that would have him. He was discovered
soon after, and was on his way to release a couple more independently produced
disks, before signing to Asylum Records in 2012.
Sheeran Releases “X” and Fans Go Wild
Sheeran has only released two full length albums so far. One
is titled “+” and the other “x.” The “X” stands for “multiply.” He’s currently backing up the “X” release by
touring through 2015. See him on the Marcus Amphitheater in July!
