Ed Sheeran x Orange Amps

Ed Sheeran Teams Up with Orange Amps: Introducing the Outlowd ES Series

The journey of music often begins in the simplest places: bedrooms, school halls, local cafés, and street corners. Before selling out stadiums worldwide, Ed Sheeran built his career through busking, intimate performances, and connecting directly with audiences through his songs.

Now, in collaboration with Orange Amps, Ed Sheeran is celebrating those roots with the launch of the Outlowd ES Series — a collection of acoustic amplifiers designed to make playing music more accessible, portable, and enjoyable for musicians at every stage of their journey.

Music Starts Somewhere

Ed Sheeran has often spoken about the importance of grassroots music culture. Long before global tours and chart-topping albums, busking taught him valuable lessons about performing, adapting, and engaging with listeners.

According to Sheeran:

"Music doesn't start in arenas or on streaming platforms. It starts in bedrooms, youth clubs, pubs, schools, parks, living rooms and street corners."

This philosophy became the foundation for the collaboration with Orange Amplification, resulting in products designed around real-life musicians and real-world performance situations.

The "Play It Home" Initiative

The initiative aims to encourage young musicians to perform, create, and connect within their local communities. Through equipment donations, support for music education programs, and events spotlighting emerging artists, the campaign reflects the belief that every musician deserves the opportunity to develop their talent.

It serves as a reminder that some of the world's biggest artists started with simple performances in small venues.
