Ed Sheeran:  Well, I listen to a lot of Eminem and a lot of Damien Rice... those would be my influences from that side. As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations. Kaplan, I. (2011) ‘Redhead redemption: Ed Sheeran’.

You can see this in all of Ed’s songs when you listen to the words. This is just one of the reasons why Ed Sheeran is my musical inspiration.

Ed Sheeran also released a book called ‘A Visual Journey’ reading this book makes me more inspired by him as it allows you to look further into his life story and his musical journey.  Sheeran, E. and Butah, P. (2014) Ed Sheeran: A Visual Journey. United States: Running Press Book Publishers 


This was a passage from his book, it inspired me to love music and inspired me to keep trying.
