The 20-year-old singer/songwriter and general musical bod hailing from Halifax has quietly been doing his own thing since 2005 and by 2008 had already released 3 EPs. Already connected to some pretty big names in the industry (Jamie Foxx, Wiley, Tinchy Stryder and Example to name but a few) this young man is by no means untalented. Sheeran manages to create spectacular music simply by recording all the vocal samples, beats and guitar loops onto effects peddles, making his live performances intensive and engaging - all eyes on him.
He's releasing his first mainstream album '+' on Atlantic Records later in the year but if you can't wait til then, you can join his mailing list and download his free EP 'The One Take' from his website and keep up to date on a more regular/stalkerish way on his Twitter. You can also check out his popular single 'The A Team' which even made Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in The World last night on Radio 1. (The video cost £20 to make!)
Keep an eye out for this young man. Definitely one to watch.
