Ed Sheeran

At first glance, Ed Sheeran doesn’t look like your stereotypical pop star. He’s a chubby British ginger for crying out loud. But then he opens his mouth and sings and you realize what all the hype is about.

Sheeran got his start like so many musicians, by performing for anyone who would listen. Only for Sheeran, his audience was anyone who found his music on YouTube. Fast forward 15+ years and Sheeran has released 4 albums and is worth $200 million.
