Ed Sheeran is a UK Singer and Songwriter.

At just 19, Ed Sheeran is more experienced than his age would suggest. With two albums and four EPs already under his belt, Ed shares his time between living in London, where he writes, records and gigs, and his home town of Framlingham, Suffolk. Since winning the 2008 Next Big Thing competition in East Anglia, Ed has attracted a flurry of high profile gigs, interviews and press coverage as well as the attention of drum and bass legend, Goldie. After seeing him play live in London, Goldie commented: 'I was really impressed.... I think he's going to be giant.' The two have since met up and are planning to record together.

Ed has written and recorded over 100 songs, some 30 of which are included on The Orange Room EP (2005) and his first two albums, Ed Sheeran (2006) and Want Some? (2007). Ed has also recently produced three new EPs: You Need Me, which features five new tracks, including The City, a crowd favourite about his experiences of living in London; Loose Change, featuring eight new tracks, including The A Team; and Songs I wrote with Amy. CDs and downloads are available from his website www.edsheeran.com and on i-Tunes.

Ed gigs several times a week, mostly playing electric acoustic guitar with vocals and beat box looped live. His music is described as blending acoustic and folk with hip hop beats. In the past 12 months he has done around 300 gigs in the UK. He has recently added LA to his gig circuit as well as spending time there writing and recording.

Ed has supported many well-known acts, as varied as Nizlopi, Gabriela Cilmi, Josephine Oniyama, Jay Sean, Mongrel, Pete Murray and the Noisettes. Ed has also collaborated with Scorcher, Thomas Jules, Slix and Wretch 32, and worked with a variety of producers and song-writers, including Amy Wadge, Si Hulbert, Jake Gosling and Jack McManus.

BBC Introducing and BBC Blast have both produced features on Ed and he has recently appeared on Jamie Foxx's radio show.

Ed will release his single, Let it Out, on 7 June 2010.
