Ed Sheeran

http://edsheeran.com/

British acoustic folk singer Ed Sheeran isn't exactly unknown in the UK. However, virtually no one knows about him here. Which is sad, because he's WONDERFUL. Armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar, this gifted ginger blows minds with his voice and lyrics. His most known song, "The A Team" is used in many collaborations with rap artists, which creates a beautiful marriage of the two genres. It's also a very meaningful song, written about a girl in a homeless shelter he played a benefit show for and how she got there. I don't know why he hasn't dropped here in the US yet. He was a part of the iTunes Festival this year, but I still have to turn to torrents to get all his music. Which is wrong. I would love to be able to pay for his magnificence.

Go Download: You can get his cover of "Wayfaring Stranger" and "U.N.I" by signing up for his email list on his website :)
