When is Ed Sheeran's birthday?

Ed Sheeran’s birthday is February 17; he was born on February 17, 1991. His full name is Edward Christopher Sheeran, and he was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, before moving with his family to Suffolk during childhood.

Sheeran began writing songs as a child and developed his career through live performances, independent recordings, and online exposure. In 2011, he released the independent EP No. 5 Collaborations Project and signed with Asylum Records. His debut studio album, +, followed later that year and established him as one of Britain’s most successful singer-songwriters.

A frequent mix-up is confusing Sheeran’s birthday with the release dates of his major albums or singles. His birthday is February 17, while + was released in September 2011 and his breakthrough single “The A Team” came out earlier that year. Sheeran’s childhood was spent largely in Framlingham, Suffolk, so some biographies list Suffolk as his origin even though his birthplace is Halifax.
