Ed Sheeran The A Team Cover

Its the first time I ever put together a video with one of my covers so I hope you like it..


Sheeran was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire to Irish[3] and English[4] parents, before moving to Framlingham, Suffolk. Sheeran broke through commercially in June 2011, when his debut single "The A Team" debuted at number 3 on the UK chart. Also in 2009, he released another EP, You Need Me, just before going on tour with Just Jack. Also in February 2010 he released his critically acclaimed Loose Change EP, which featured his later debut single "The A Team". A video was made for the song, and cost only £20 to make. In April 2010, after leaving his old management company, Sheeran bought a ticket to Los Angeles, with no contacts other than one poetry night. He played open mic nights all over the city, before being spotted at 'The Foxxhole' by Jamie Foxx, who invited him to stay at his house and record for the rest of his stay. Throughout 2010, Sheeran began to be seen by more people over the internet through YouTube and his fan-base grew, with him also getting credit from The Independent newspaper, England football captain Rio Ferdinand and Elton John.[9] Sheeran also self-released two other EPs in 2010; Ed Sheeran: Live at the Bedford and Songs I Wrote With Amy, which is a collection of love songs he wrote in Wales with fellow singer songwriter Amy Wadge.On 8 January 2011, Sheeran released his final independent EP, No.5 Collaborations Project featuring appearances by grime artists including Wiley, JME, Devlin, Sway and Ghetts.[1] With this EP, Sheeran gained mainstream attention for reaching number 2 in the iTunes chart without any promotion or label, selling over 7,000 copies in its first week.[10] Three months later, Sheeran put on a free show to fans at the Barfly in Camden. Over 1,000 fans turned up to see the show, so Sheeran ended up playing four different shows to make sure everyone saw a gig, including a gig outside on the street after the venue had closed. Later that month, Sheeran was signed to Asylum / Atlantic Records.
On 26 April, Sheeran appeared on the TV music show Later... with Jools Holland -- where he performed the song "The A Team". Six weeks later "The A Team" was released as a digital download in the United Kingdom. The release served as the lead single from Sheeran's debut studio album, entitled + -- which was released through Atlantic Records on 12 September 2011. "The A Team" entered the UK chart at number 3, selling over 58,000 copies in the first week. It was congratulated on being the highest-selling and highest-charting debut single of 2011.
During a headline set in the BBC Introducing tent at Glastonbury Festival 2011, Sheeran announced that "You Need Me" would be released on 28 August as the second single from the album.
Sheeran will also be performing at the Festival Republic Stage during the Reading festival, performed live alongside Mikill Pane and Wretch 32 at Bestival, and will perform on the main stage of the 2011 Jersey Live festival.
