Ed Sheeran

"Music is a powerful tool in galvanizing people around an issue. There's no better way to get your point across than to put it in a beautiful song." -- Ed Sheeran December 2011, a ginger-haired performer hit rock bottom. Distanced from his family at a young age in an effort to make it in the music industry, this ambitious young musician put it all on the line. He used his God-given talent for small wages and beer and thankfully so with a lack of alternative income and ability to put food in his belly. Then on a night of celebration, with all earnings gone on beers and buddies, in what he thought would be the end, was only the beginning. Known as no other than Ed Sheeran, he worked hard for his privileged position, kept in mind where he came from, and clearly knows where he is going-- to the top of the music industry.
