  Edward Christopher Sheeran was born on February 17, 1991, in Halifax, West Yorkshire. From a young age, he was fascinated by music. He started singing in a church choir at the age of four and learned to play guitar around eleven. His parents, active in the art world, nurtured his creativity. During his teenage years in Framlingham, Suffolk, he began writing songs and performing at local venues. In 2004, he released his first self-recorded work, titled "Spinning Man", followed by EPs like "The Orange Room", "Ed Sheeran" and "Want Some?".

In 2008, Sheeran moved to London to seriously pursue a music career. He performed hundreds of times in small clubs and on the streets, gradually building a loyal fan base. His breakthrough came in 2010 when he uploaded a live version of "You Need Me, I Don’t Need You" to the online platform SB.TV. The video went viral and caught the attention of rapper Example, who invited him on tour. That same year, he released the EP "Loose Change", featuring the track "The A Team". This song would later become his first major hit.

Early in 2011, his EP "No. 5 Collaborations Project" was released, on which he collaborated with grime artists such as Wiley and Devlin. Without a label or promotional support, it reached the second spot on the UK iTunes chart. Soon after, he signed with Asylum Records. In April, he appeared on "Later… with Jools Holland", performing "The A Team" live. The single became a huge success and topped the UK singles chart. That September, his debut album "+" was released, featuring songs such as "Lego House", "Drunk", "Small Bump" and "Give Me Love". The album was both a commercial and critical success, selling over a million copies within six months in the UK alone.

In 2012, Sheeran won two Brit Awards: British Breakthrough Act and Best British Male Solo Artist. He also co-wrote "Moments" for One Direction and collaborated with Taylor Swift on "Everything Has Changed". In 2013, he provided "I See Fire" as the soundtrack for the film "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug". His second album "x" was released in June 2014, featuring hits like "Sing", "Don’t", "Photograph" and "Thinking Out Loud". For the latter, he received two Grammy Awards in 2016: Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.

His popularity continued to grow. In 2015, he won more Brit Awards and received the Ivor Novello Award for Songwriter of the Year. He founded his own label, Gingerbread Man Records, and embarked on a world tour. In 2016, he took a break from social media and returned a year later with new music. On January 6, 2017, he released "Shape of You" and "Castle on the Hill", followed by the record-breaking album "÷" in March. This album also featured "Galway Girl", "Perfect" and "Happier". "Perfect" became a global number one and was the UK’s Christmas hit of 2017.

In 2018, Sheeran married his childhood friend Cherry Seaborn. A year later, he released "No.6 Collaborations Project", featuring artists such as Justin Bieber, Cardi B and Bruno Mars. The album spawned hits like "I Don’t Care", "Beautiful People" and "Take Me Back to London". In 2020, he announced the birth of his daughter, Lyra Antarctica. By then, Sheeran's career had seen an impressive string of successes — from sold-out stadiums to billions of streams. By the end of the decade, he was named the UK’s most successful artist of the 2010s.

After the birth of his daughter, much changed in Sheeran’s life. He had already expressed his eagerness to become a father, and Lyra’s arrival brought new inspiration. He temporarily withdrew from the spotlight to focus on his family but continued working behind the scenes on new music. In later interviews, he shared that this period helped him reevaluate his life and that he found greater peace and balance.

In October 2021, Sheeran returned with the album "=", pronounced “equals”, in which he explored deeper and more personal themes. The album featured tracks such as "Shivers", "Bad Habits", "Visiting Hours" and "Overpass Graffiti". "Bad Habits" became a major international hit and showcased a more electronic side of his music. "Visiting Hours" was an emotional tribute to his late friend and mentor Michael Gudinski. The album demonstrated Sheeran’s growth as a person and artist, showing how he channeled his experiences as a father, partner and friend into his music. "=", topping charts in multiple countries, reaffirmed his status as one of the biggest names in pop music.

In 2022, Ed Sheeran embarked on his major "+–=÷×" tour, also known as the "Mathematics Tour." This global journey took him to dozens of countries and stadiums across the world. His performances were marked by stunning loop pedal sets, allowing him to build a full-band sound entirely on his own. During the tour, he also previewed new songs and kept in touch with fans via social media. Despite the immense success of his concerts, Ed remained approachable and down-to-earth — a trait that only added to his charm.

In May 2023, Ed released the album "-", pronounced “Subtract,” the final installment of his mathematical series. The album took on a noticeably different tone from his earlier work: raw, intimate, and steeped in themes of loss, vulnerability, and healing. Tracks such as "Eyes Closed," "Boat," "Salt Water," and "Life Goes On" reflected the difficult period he had endured. While recording, he lost his close friend Jamal Edwards, faced illness within his family, and dealt with lawsuits over alleged plagiarism. These events all shaped the music of "-", which was produced by Aaron Dessner of The National. Their collaboration brought a melancholic and alternative sound to the record, earning praise from critics.

Later that year, Ed also released "Autumn Variations," an album outside the mathematical sequence, issued via his own label Gingerbread Man Records. This project was inspired by the changing seasons and the personal lives of his friends. Each track was based on a story, situation, or emotion he had observed in his close circle. With "Autumn Variations," Ed aimed for artistic freedom without the pressure of commercial success. Though the album lacked traditional radio hits, it was appreciated for its sincerity and unique perspective.

Meanwhile, Ed remained active as a songwriter for other artists. His name appeared in the credits of performers like Camila Cabello, BTS, and Elton John. Together with Elton John, he released the holiday song "Merry Christmas" in late 2021, which dominated the festive season in the UK. This collaboration led to an alternative version — a mashup with "Don’t Stop Me Eatin’" by LadBaby — which helped Ed contribute to multiple Christmas number-one hits. He also maintained his commitment to charity and community efforts, donating frequently to good causes and supporting local initiatives in his native Suffolk.

In his personal life, Ed continued to seek balance. His second daughter, Jupiter, was born in 2022, but Ed and Cherry chose to keep their family life mostly private. They lived on an estate in Suffolk that Ed affectionately called “Sheeranville,” a cluster of houses he purchased and renovated into a sustainable, peaceful home. It became a haven where he could retreat, record music in his home studio, enjoy nature, and spend time with loved ones.

Beyond music, Ed developed an interest in other creative pursuits. In interviews, he spoke fondly of gardening and cooking, and he appeared in various documentaries and podcasts. In 2023, the Disney+ documentary "Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All" was released, where he candidly discussed his life, music, fears, and aspirations. Fans got an unfiltered view of who he truly is — beyond the spotlight.

Ed Sheeran’s music career has taken on many dimensions over the years. From a boy with a guitar on the streets of London to an artist with global reach, millions of albums sold, and sold-out stadiums. What sets him apart isn’t just his talent, but his sincerity, his bond with the audience, and his ability to evolve musically. Whether he’s singing an acoustic love song or experimenting with electronic beats, his authenticity remains unmistakable.

With an impressive body of work behind him and an ever-growing curiosity for new stories, Ed Sheeran seems determined to keep creating. His biography is one of musical evolution, emotional depth, and lasting influence on contemporary pop culture.
