Esh Morgan goes viral with cover of Ed Sheeran’s A-Team

September 20, 2026

Now 15 years after the release of Ed Sheeran’s hit single A Team , singer Esh Morgan, son of Morgan Heritage member Mojo Morgan, has put his own spin on The A-Team.
British singer Ed Sheeran wrote the song The A Team in 2011, a folk ballad about a homeless woman addicted to crack cocaine. It became his debut single and was an immediate hit.
It peaked at #3 in the United Kingdom and made the top 20 in the United States.

“I’ve always connected with The A-Team. Ed Sheeran is one of the artists who showed me how powerful a song can be when it’s really just a voice, a guitar and a story. It’s a great song lyrically, and I felt like I could bring my own emotion and interpretation to it without taking away from what made the original special,” Esh Morgan said.

His acoustic performance of The A Team at the recently held Reggae Land concert in the United Kingdom, which was filmed as a music video, has racked up more than one million views since it was uploaded to YouTube less than two weeks ago.

Morgan has been in music since he was a child.

“I’ve been drawn to music since I was really young. When I was six, while on tour with my dad in Europe, I asked my dad if I could start taking guitar lessons, and I finally got my first lesson when I was eight. After my first two lessons, my dad pointed me toward guitar lessons on YouTube and basically told me to keep learning. From there, I just kept teaching myself, playing and developing. The rest, as they say, is history,” he recalled.

The 24-year-old shared some advice that his father has given him as it relates to being a performer and a recording artiste.

“Probably to find out who I am as an artist and not try to become anybody else. I come from a musical family with a huge legacy, and I’m proud of that, but my journey has to be mine. My dad has always pushed me to work on the craft, understand the business and build something that can last instead of chasing whatever is popular at the moment,” said Morgan.

When asked about the his love performance of the A- Tean going viral , Morgan said , “You always hope people connect with something you put out, but you can’t predict it. Seeing the music video surpass one million views and watching people discover me from different places around the world has been amazing. The coolest part is that a lot of these people are hearing me for the first time, so it feels like the beginning of something,” said the Brooklyn-born singer who resides in Florida.
