Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
Raye has enjoyed early success at the Brits by storming the competition with four awards so far. On Saturday night (March 2) at the O2 Arena, the British singer-songwriter won the R&B, best new artist and song of the year prizes.
She had already been named songwriter of the year – the first woman to do so. The prize, which began in 2022, has previously been won by Suffolk singer Ed Sheeran and British record producer Kid Harpoon, who worked with Harry Styles on the album Harry’s House.
Raye is now level with the record for the most number of Brits won in one award year with Blur, Harry Styles and Adele. Accepting the song of the year award for Escapism featuring 070 Shake, Raye said she was “shaking”.
She added: “I don’t really know what to say, thank you to my team, I’ve always wanted to say thank you to my team.” Try MEN Premium now for FREE...
