STUDENT´S WRITING
Ed is an English singer and songwriter whose brother Matthew is a classical music writer. Their parents are from London but or Irish lineage, both work in jobs related with Art; his father is an art curator and her mother is a jewelry designer. Ed was born near Halifax on 17th February 1991.
HOW DID HE BECOME FAMOUS?
On 2005, he began recording music and left home to go to London where he played in the street and in small venues. Jaime Fox invited him to play in his program. Jaime let him a bed in his house and his studio to record. Finally, he became an international famous pop star as more people saw him over the Internet through Youtube.
DOES HE CARE?
On 2012, he was a volunteer to help homeless people. There, he met a prostitute who is called Angel. She told him about her problems and he decided to help donating the 40,000 pounds of a concert in Bristol.
HIS DISCONNECTION!
On the 14th December 2015, he wrote in his social networks: `I find myself seeing the world trough a screen and not my eyes.´ Sheehan took this decision after finishing his world tour, where he became one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
He got his fame with 24 years old and with his last disk called `X´ (sentimental mellifluous style). The New York Times called him `the first pop songwriter in a long time who becomes a fan phenomenon´.
`THINKING OUT LOUD´
I think he has lived an exciting and funny life despite being so young, only 24. Nevertheless, he is tired of using social networks.
Internet can help you in many things, as Youtube helped Ed to become famous; but on the other hand, Internet does´t let you time enough to do other things, for example looking the world with your eyes, as Ed has recently stated.
