Ed Sheeran's music style and genre is closely related to our artist of Lewis Mokler, he has the overall image and idea of presence in the music industry that our artist is aiming for. When considering music, the style is very similar, both artists songs consist mainly of guitar as the instrument alongside the main singer; their careers are very similar, Ed Sheeran broke into the music industry through playing at small concerts and selling his own CD's, he developed a dedicated audience and when he was signed by a record label released his own single, from here his number of fans multiplexed as he had his original fans and his new audience members whilst released nationally. Ed Sheeran's music video for Lego House had a large influence upon our music video as we developed conventions and frames within his music video, therefore Ed Sheeran is considered a similar product.
