Ed Sheeran: iTunes Music Festival 2012

Ed Sheeran steps on stage at the 2012 iTunes Festival held at The Roundhouse in London on Sunday night (September 2).

The 21-year-old singer recently chatted with The Associated Press about working with Taylor Swift and changing his sound.

“As a person, Taylor‘s such a sweetheart,” Ed shared.”(She’s) the perfect example of what musicians should be and how they should work and react. She just loves music, and she’s not in it for anything else.”

He added about changing his own sound for a deal, “They [the label] didn’t want to hear songs about homeless prostitutes (referencing his hit “The A Team”). To have that (success) on a song that I was told wouldn’t even be played on radio, it’s quite nuts.”

FYI: Ed is playing his Martin guitar.
