Ever seen this ginger man on the television or social media. Well most of you might have and for the ones who haven't, he's Ed Sheeran. A singer, songwriter and you would probably recognize his famous song 'Shape of you'
Born To a middle class family with a stuttering problem affecting him in talking and singing, was bullied and teased. His farther later bought him a karaoke machine through which he overcome stuttering.
When he began to take music seriously, he went out if house and lived in the streets or in another person's couch for a night. He wrote 5 songs a day to increase his writing skills and never felt bored about it. He made his daily earnings playing in the streets, pubs, metros and wherever he could. Sold his self-made CDs to the ones who came to the pub for free and now it's on eBay for the purpose of charity! For three years he was doing this trying to get up and be recognized. Did feel like giving up, but he did not give up. Worked his best and then his first ever song to be published ' A Team ' was played in the radio. This took off like a jet where he was recognized for the lyrics and people were stunned by this.
Before this some label records did not accept him but when this happend, all the labels came running offering huge sum of money to him. So he had to tak out his songs out of Tunecore (an online record label) where he only earned 10,000 dollars and set his goal to be the best musician he could be.
Ed left his second album not being one of those artistic who just leaves a superb album, makes money and leaves the Music Industry. He worked more hard on this one and people loved it! The songs were all meaningful and pleasant to hear. There were a lot more instrumentals added to his second album is in his previous one name '-'. This album consists of one of my favorite songs of all time. Check it out its called Photograph.
It's such a cute video of him and his journey from the beginning.
This was the album where Ed Sheeran was globally recognized for as if featured two important songs. 'Shape of you' and 'Castle on the hill '. This was also the first time an artist released two of his songs from the upcoming album at the same time. Though Shape of you getting more recognition, Castle on the hill was the best story sing ever written from a personal experience. This broke the internet with leaving the other artists no chance of releasing their songs for the next 9 months as Ed had taken over the Music Industry.
