A singer-songwriter who built a career from bedroom recordings to global hits.
For a sense of his range, listen to 'Tenerife Sea' and then 'Galway Girl.' One's quiet, the other's a fiddle-driven party, but both sound like him.
He started posting videos on YouTube at 14, and that direct, unpolished approach carried through to songs like 'Shape of You' and 'The A Team.' Those tracks feel like someone figuring things out in real time, not a studio product. The 2021 album '=' even had a Christmas duet with Elton John, which shows how far that bedroom sound traveled.
The debut album '+' arrived in 2011 with 'The A Team' and 'Lego House.' Later records like 'x' and '÷' brought in different producers and collaborators. By 2021, his brother Matthew was playing guitar and singing background vocals in the live band.
