Ed Sheeran interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Sheeran during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about the artist he most wants to work with.

I went in with Timbaland just to kind of play him music and talk about stuff, but he was doing the [Justin] Timberlake and Jay Z albums at that time, so we didn’t get to make music. So I’d like to go in with him in the future.

Thank you Adam Levine for wanting to sign me to your label because after 5 years on YouTube, not a single label out there would sign me. And he has known me for only a couple months and would you look at that. Adam believes in me, as did my team Grimmie all these years.

Sheeran, The Game collaboration

Announcement0 Comments

Sheeran announces he and The Game plan a joint album to be released in 2015. The Game and Sheeran only planed to collaborate on one song together but, when they got in the studio they recorded seven instead.

Ed came up with the idea to start working on a joint album, and we started doing it. He was on that guitar. Acoustically, he’s a genius, man, so when he does that, what comes out of me is songs like (The Game hits) Dreams and Hate It or Love It and My Life. The songs that we got, they’re real songs. And I can’t wait for people to hear ’em.

Ed Sheeran interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Sheeran during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his inspiration for the single Sing.

I feel like I was veering off in one direction with that song to kind of make it a very R&B song. I wanted to pull it back and make it English, which is why I put the rap in it. [Sing is about] Someone I met in Vegas. It was last summer. We went out for food afterwards sushi.

I was in America for 11-and-a-half months, which as an Englishman is quite a tough thing to do. I lived in Nashville for six months, I lived in L.A. for three months and New York for two.
