Ed Sheeran talks Focusrite ISA430 MkII

·0 comments·

Ed Sheeran is one of the UK’s most hotly tipped young singer/songwriters. Parts of the story of his rise to fame are familiar: making music from a young age, couch-surfing at friends’ places, playing open mics all over the country before running out of money. But some things set him apart, like playing over 300 gigs in 2009, buying a ticket to LA in 2010 with no shows booked, being spotted by Jamie Foxx, selling 7,000 copies of his No.5 Collaborations Project EP and reaching number 1 in the iTunes chart without any label or promotion. Fast forward to Summer 2011, and Ed has deservedly caught the attention of the mainstream. His single ‘The A-Team’ debuted at number 3 in the UK singles chart, before he played to a packed stage at the world-renowned Glastonbury festival.
