Edward Christopher Sheeran was born on 17 February 1991 in Halifax, West Yorkshire,
England.[7][8] His early childhood home was on Birchcliffe Road in nearby Hebden Bridge.
[9]
His father was a curator at Cartwright Hall in Bradford, and his mother worked
at Manchester City Art Gallery.[9][10][11] In December 1995, he moved with his family from
Hebden Bridge to Framlingham in Suffolk,[12][13] where he attended the
independent Brandeston Hall preparatory school (now Framlingham College Prep
School),[14][15][16] then Thomas Mills High School, also in Framlingham.[17][18] He has an older
brother named Matthew, who works as a composer.[19] Sheeran's parents, John and
Imogen, are from London. His father is Irish,[20][21][22] and Sheeran has stated that his father
is from a "very large" Catholic family.[23] John is an art curator and lecturer, and Imogen
is a culture publicist turned jewellery designer.[21][24] His parents ran Sheeran Lock, an
independent art consultancy, from 1990 to 2010.[25]
Sheeran sang at a local church choir at the age of four, learned how to play the guitar at
age eleven,[26] and began writing songs while at Thomas Mills High School in
Framlingham.[17][18] He also played the cello when he was younger.[27] A 2004 school report
described him as a "natural performer", and his classmates also voted him "most likely
to be famous".[28] He was accepted at the National Youth Theatre in London as a
teenager.[29][30] He successfully auditioned for Youth Music Theatre UK in 2007 and joined
their production of Frankenstein – A New Musical in Plymouth.[31] He is a patron of Youth
Music Theatre UK (now renamed British Youth Music Theatre)[32] and of Access to
Music, where he studied Artist Development.[33][34] Sheeran is a second cousin of
Northern Irish broadcaster Gordon Burns,[35] who hosted the British game show The
Krypton Factor.[21]

the album, "Take Me Back to London" featuring Stormzy, reached number one in the
UK.[167]
In 2019, Sheeran co-wrote country music singer Kenny Chesney's single "Tip of My
Tongue".[168] In December 2019, Sheeran was named artist of the decade by the Official
Charts Company for being the most successful performer in the UK album and singles
charts of the 2010s.[4] Eight of his songs featured in the Official Chart Company's chart

first child with Cherry Seaborn in August, he released the surprise single, "Afterglow".[172]
On 25 June 2021, Sheeran released "Bad Habits", the lead single from his upcoming
fifth studio album.[173] His 10th UK number one single, the song spent eleven consecutive
weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart, topped the charts in
Australia, Canada and Germany among others, and peaked at number two on
the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.[174][175] His eleventh week at number one in the UK saw

catalogue, with only Elvis Presley (80 weeks) and The Beatles (69 weeks) achieving
more weeks at the summit.[176] On 19 August, Sheeran announced that his fifth studio
album, = ("Equals"), would be released on 29 October 2021. The cover was painted by

season opening game.[178] Released on 10 September, "Shivers" dethroned "Bad Habits"
at the top of the UK and Irish singles charts.[179] Topping the charts in most major
markets, = became his fifth UK number-one album, and fourth US number one.[180][181]

On 29 November 2021, Sheeran and Elton John released "Merry Christmas", a duet
single for charity. Inspired by a scene from the 2003 romantic-comedy film Love
Actually, the song's music video sees the duo pay homage to scenes from past British
Christmas hits, including "Last Christmas", "Walking in the Air", "Merry Christmas
Everyone", and "Stay Another Day".[182][183] All of the UK profits from the song went to the
Ed Sheeran Suffolk Music Foundation and the Elton John AIDS Foundation. [183] Debuting

+–=÷x Tour (Mathematics Tour) on 21 March.[187] He played warm-up shows at
the Electric Ballroom in Camden Town, London before the main tour began with two
concerts at Croke Park in Dublin.[188] On 22 April, Sheeran released the fifth single
from =, "2step" featuring Lil Baby, before releasing a version of the song featuring
Ukrainian pop-rock band Antytila.[189] 2022 also saw Sheeran venture into heavier styles
of music, releasing a new version of "Bad Habits" with the pop metal group Bring Me the
Horizon in February.[190] Later that year it was reported that he was in contact with
Suffolk extreme metal group Cradle of Filth over a possible project, with frontman Dani
Filth confirming progress on the collaboration in August.[191] In July, he launched a
collaboration with clothing brand Lucy & Yak which was inspired by the artwork of =.[192]
On 29 September, Sheeran released the single "Celestial", a collaboration with
Japanese media franchise Pokémon. On November, "Shivers" became Sheeran's 11th
song to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. He celebrated via an Instagram post, saying
that he was currently filming a music video for his next album, scheduled to be released
the following year.[193] Sheeran was spotted at a beach in the coastal Suffolk town
of Lowestoft.[194][195]
2023–present: - ("Subtract") and Autumn Variations
On 1 March 2023, Sheeran officially announced on all social media platforms that his
sixth studio album, - ("Subtract"), would be released on 5 May 2023.[196][197] Sheeran
released the album's lead single, "Eyes Closed" with its accompanying music video on
24 March 2023.[198] "Boat" was released as the second single off the record on 21 April
2023.[199] The third single, "Life Goes On", was released on 5 May 2023.[200]
In August 2023, Sheeran announced his second album of the year, Autumn Variations,
released on 29 September 2023.[201] It is his first studio album for which he owns the
copyright, and also his first to be released through Gingerbread Man Records.[202]
Musical style and influences
Morrison's Irish Heartbeat.[21] During his childhood his father took him to live concerts
that would inspire his musical creations. These included seeing Eric Clapton at
the Royal Albert Hall, Paul McCartney in Birmingham, and Bob Dylan.[208] On the
influence of Clapton, Sheeran states, "He's the reason I started playing guitar". [26] He
singled out Clapton's performance at the Party at the Palace in the grounds of
Buckingham Palace, "I was eleven when I saw Eric Clapton play at the Queen's Golden
Jubilee concert in June 2002. I remember him walking on stage with this rainbow-
coloured Stratocaster and playing the first riff of 'Layla'. I was hooked. Two days later I
bought a black Stratocaster copy for £30 that came with an amp. All I did for the next
month was try to play that 'Layla' riff."[209]
In a complicated world, Sheeran's musical modus operandi is straightforward; to create
well-crafted, expertly vague songs that unite people. His songs are vessels broad
enough to soundtrack both a first dance and a funeral procession, a gut-punch break-up
and a trawl around a harshly lit shopping centre. They're for life's big moments, with all
the cinematic edge of a Richard Curtis film. He's also malleable – when he's done
with hip-hop, for example, he doesn't need an image overhaul to then revert to balladry.
If one genre isn't to your tastes, then fear not, another will be along soon.
— Michael Cragg in The Guardian on Sheeran's style of music and mass appeal.[210]
Sheeran has also cited the Beatles, Nizlopi and Eminem as his biggest musical
influences.[211][212] He is also a fan of heavier music and cites bands such as Cradle of
Filth, Slipknot, Korn, Marilyn Manson and Bring Me the Horizon as other influences.[213]
[214]
As a teenager, he also had a Kerrang! subscription.[215] According to Sheeran, he had
a stutter in his speech when he was younger, and he credited rapping along to
Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP for helping him stammer less.[216] He was also
inspired by "Cannonball" singer-songwriter Damien Rice in 2002, with Sheeran stating,
"seeing him play this small club in Ireland, I was able to meet him, and he was
unbelievably cool. I went straight home and started writing songs. I would not be doing
what I'm doing now if he'd been a jerk."[217] He also played the guitar
to Westlife's Greatest Hits album when he was ten, citing them as one of his influences.
[218][219]
Sheeran collaborated with his idol Eric Clapton in April 2016, with Sheeran stating
to People magazine, "I sang on Eric Clapton's album I Still Do. It's one thing having him
on mine, but being on his, that's an honour that you can't ever pinpoint on how great
that is. I did something for his record, and I was credited as 'Angelo Mysterioso',
appearing as a guest on Clapton's 'I Will Be There', in addition to performing the song
with Clapton on stage, and he did something for my record performing a guitar solo on
'Dive' on Sheeran's album ÷ and was credited as 'Angelo Mysterioso'."[26] Sheeran also
cited Taylor Swift as one of his influences, suggesting in 2015 their respective success
drives each other on.[220]
Other ventures
Gingerbread Man Records
In March 2015, Sheeran announced he was setting up a record label, Gingerbread Man
Records, which is a deal with Warner Music Group.[221] The label was launched in August
2015 alongside its accompanying YouTube channel.[222] Jamie Lawson, the label's first
signee, met Sheeran while they were both in London's folk circuit.[223] Lawson released
his self-titled debut album on 9 October 2015, which has earned him a number one in
the UK Albums Chart.[224] Sheeran signed his second artist, Foy Vance, in November
2015.[225] Maisie Peters also signed with the label in 2021.[226]
Bertie Blossoms
On 29 September 2019, Sheeran announced he was teaming up with his manager
Stuart Camp to open a bar located on Portobello Road in Notting Hill. The bar is called
"Bertie Blossoms", and named after his wife Cherry Seaborn.[227]
Charity work
Sheeran performed a gig in Bristol, which raised £40,000 for a charity that reaches out
to street sex workers. "It's good to show insight that these people are real people with
real emotions and they deserve the same charity work as anyone else," Sheeran said.
"There's a lot more popular charities that get a lot of attention. And with certain subjects
like this they're often washed over and people don't necessarily give them the attention
they deserve." Tickets were available to those taking part in the charity's Give it up for
One25 campaign by giving something up for 125 hours and hitting the £40,000
fundraising mark.[228]

Notes
1. ^ "In 2004, I made my very first album, Spinning Man, named after a picture that my dad had.
I burnt the CDs myself and made the covers. There were 14 songs and they were all songs
that rhymed. One lyric went: I'm a typical average teen, if you know what I mean. There
are probably 20 copies of Spinning Man in existence and I have 19 of them. I don't want
anyone else to get hold of a copy. Most of the songs were about a girl named Claire. She was
my first love when I was 13. It was a very innocent love and we only ever held hands, but it
lasted a fair amount of time. Then came my first devastating break-up. Looking back, it really
wasn't that bad, but at the time it was soul-shattering. When she left me, I wrote a lot of songs
off the back of it—my first love songs."[36]
