Fireboy released “Peru” in July 2021 and had a remix with Ed Sheeran last year.
Fireboy in a video that has since gone viral, is seen overwhelmed with emotion and in tears as his team members calm him backstage.
Born Edward Christopher Sheeran in Halifax, West Yorkshire and raised in Framlingham, Suffolk, the MBE began writing songs around the age of 11.
In early 2011, he independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project and has been interested in working with Nigerian artistes lately.
