Ed Sheeran, the 'Galway Girl' singer, reflects on his Irish heritage in a recent podcast. Growing up in Suffolk with a large Irish family, he spent significant time in Ireland during childhood, which fostered his cultural identification as Irish. Sheeran emphasizes that nationality is about personal identity rather than strict definitions. He appreciates the love he receives in Ireland, describing it as his musical second home. Additionally, he shares his discomfort with the paparazzi's intrusion into his family's privacy, especially concerning his children.
I class my culture as Irish. I think that's what I grew up with.
I feel like just because I was born in Britain doesn't necessarily mean that I have to just be (British), there's loads of people I know that are half this or quarter this.
Ireland is the place that I am most successful musically.
It's a strange trade-off because, obviously, to be successful in the music industry, you end up being rich, famous.
