Profile of Ed Sheeran

Name: Ed Sheeran
D.O.B: 17th Febuary, 1991

Ed sheeran is an English singer song-writer. He is currently signed to Asylum/Atlantic record label. The genres he belongs to are folk rock, accoustic and more recently Hip-Hop and grime. He often plays the guitar in his songs and in his most popular music video's, 'the A-Team' and 'You need me...' he himself does not feature promanantly in the videos. This is strange in a way because most up and coming artists will feature predominantly in their videos. He and his record label may have decided not to be in the videos because he wants the audience to focus more on his songs and his singing than fame and obtaining a star image.

The reason for creating this profile of Ed Sheeran is because I will create a music video based on his music. Therefore, I believed it to be important to learn more about his background and the type of music he creates, so that the mise-en-scene of our video is reflective of the genre of the artist and the music he creates.
