Sheeran began singing in a local church choir when he was four years old, learned to play the guitar when he was eleven, and began writing songs while attending Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham. When he was younger, he also played the cello. He was hailed as a “natural performer” in a 2004 school report, and his classmates voted him “most likely to be famous.” As a teenager, he was accepted into the National Youth Theatre in London.
