Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
MUSIC mogul and entrepreneur Jamal Edwards has died at the age of 31. Tributes have poured in for the music industry pioneer, DJ, and founder of SBTV - who helped launch Ed Sheeran and Jessie J to global fame.
Edwards, from Luton, set up the legendary music and culture content platform when he was just 15 years old after being gifted a camera for Christmas.
The SBTV YouTube platform helped launch the careers of dozens of household names - including Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Emeli Sandé and Dave.
The legend, who is Loose Women star Brenda Edwards' son, received an MBE at the age of 23 for his services to music - and he was a Princes Trust Ambassador.
