7 years of Divide today, time flies eh. To celebrate I went to some indie record stores in Jakarta and hid some signed vinyls in them, and tried on some sunnies, too jazzy?
I had the honour of having the amazing @jjlin on stage last night in Singapore. Me and the band had learnt one of his biggest hits, Twilight, for the show, but because it was entirely in Mandarin, I felt like I didn’t want to mess it up, or be disrespectful by by getting it wrong so the original plan was for us to play and JJ to sing. 10 mins before I went on JJ said he would sit and teach me some of the Mandarin and it was so fun to do live. My first time speaking and singing in Mandarin and deffo not the last. Thanks for all the love Singapore, honestly my fav show of the year so far, and thanks JJ, you rock x

It’s been 2 years today since we lost Jamal. Still feels so raw, I miss him every day. Wanted to post this F64 I did for @sbtvonline as it’s still the song I’m most proud of. It’s a tribute and letter to my friend, who we all miss so much. Il have a henny and apple for you tonight bruv x
Got invited by the people at @pokemon to voice some of my favourite Pokémon whilst in Japan. Very surreal and amazing !
I ❤️ Malaysia
Hadn’t played Happier in 5 years til this weekend in Singapore. Here’s me having a refresher before the show, was kinda like riding a bike, all came back pretty quick ! What song haven’t I played for a while on tour you’d wanna hear? Comments below
Got a traditional Sak Yant tattoo in Thailand today…
Had @deniseteojiaqi take me round Singapore today to show me some local food and drink. Looking forward to the show later ! Great to be back
14 years ago I did my first video for @sbtvonline doing You need me I don’t need you live. Here is me doing it 14 years later with the Sheeran Looper +. To get one of these @sheeranloopers ask your local music store or order online at sheeranloopers.com !
I got my first loop pedal when I was 14 for my birthday, I used that same one right through from pubs, to clubs, to theatres, to arenas throughout the whole Plus tour. When I got to arena level the pedal I was using wasn’t fit for purpose and the quality of the sound suffered. I approached the company that made the pedal to see if they would make a custom specific one for my requirements, but it was a ‘no’. So I thought, why not, il just make it myself. Which is how the first Sheeran looper came to be, 10 years ago. Me and my team built one in 2014 for the multiply tour, which took me to stadiums round the world, and it worked amazingly in any scenario. I’ve had people ask me where they can buy them, but til now I didn’t feel we could mass produce them affordably, because it was so specially custom made. But we found an incredible company with Intime Audio who took the task on, and now we have the Looper + and the Looper X to bring out. Coming from someone who has looped my entire career, in every venue imaginable, these really are the best loopers on the market, and can do anything a looper might need, and more. I’m so excited to bring them out, and put my name to them, I hope everyone enjoys them, whether you are a beginner, or an expert. The @sheeranloopers are out now, order through your local music store or online at sheeranloopers.com !x
