Flypoet Spoken Word & Music Showcase - April 7, 2010.
A friend called me from the UK saying her friend would do well with my audience. I rarely put artists up without seeing them in person first but I took her enthusiasm to heart and said "what the heck!". Ed Sheeran arrived in LA, we drove around, I showed him the sights and he MURDERED every stage we got him on!

I would like to see any other singer in todays manufactured industry do this when they started out at 19 in a bar in Englewood 😆. The talent this guy has is scary, I think that performance he did of perfect at the grammys said it all, him alone, his guitar and loop pedal and he literally got up and built the song from scratch on stage in front of the crowd, and it was perfect.

@veronicam2935 3 жыл бұрын

@goldrush18x 2 жыл бұрын

Completely agree. I can’t see any of these new artists holding their own and impressing an unfamiliar/tough crowd like Ed was able to do at just 19 years old. I almost feel bad for him that he had to grind so hard for so long and now the come up is so much easier with the growth of social media. He paid his dues a million times more than any of these up and comers ever will, and it shows in how consistent of a performer he is.
