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.

"I mean, I wouldn't have picked a Take That member [as our competition]," Alex tells us over the phone. "5 Seconds of Summer, we were always kind of aware of them, and the D-Block Europe album has some huge people on it!
Like, Ed Sheeran." But how are the band feeling about the prospect of another battle for the top this time around, as seasoned chart fighters? "I think we're feeling great," Alex says. "I mean, we're kind of a little band and we don't do things right.
