Ed Sheeran's Shocking Michigan Karaoke Surprise

Ed Sheeran recently surprised patrons at a small Michigan sushi bar and did a duet with a local karaoke singer.

Singer, Songwriter, and Guitarist Ed Sheeran

At just 16, Ed Sheeran left school and moved to London, where he began building his music career by performing on the streets and at hundreds of small gigs and open-mic nights.

When Sheeran began sharing his music online, his music quickly began attracting attention online. In 2010, he traveled to Los Angeles, where he performed at an open-mic night and caught the attention of actor and musician Jamie Foxx. Impressed by his talent, Foxx offered Sheeran use of his recording studio.

Sheeran signed with Asylum Records in 2011 and has since risen to global stardom. Despite his immense success, he has remained grounded and still enjoys stopping into local establishments to perform.

Ed Sheeran was in Detroit last week and made a stop at Sakazuki, a modern Japanese sake and sushi pub. Located downstairs from the restaurant is Hiroki-San, a cozy karaoke bar where Sheeran stopped in during his visit.

According to WXYZ-TV, Kevin Reddy, a regular at Hiroki-San, spotted Ed Sheeran and struck up a conversation with him. Reddy suggested they sing Sheeran’s hit “Thinking Out Loud,” and the two ended up performing a duet for a crowd of about six or seven people, just 10 minutes before the bar was set to close.

Reddy said, "I feel like at any point, he could have been like, you know, good to see you, have a good night, but he, I think it was just we built that rapport. I made him laugh, which is like crazy to say and then we had a just a blast."
