History
History
In March 2015, Sheeran revealed his plans to establish Gingerbread Man Records through a deal with Warner Music Group. Sheeran said he wanted to start a record label as a way to help new artists who haven't found the right platform to reach a wider audience. The label, as well as a dedicated YouTube channel, launched three months later. The label's first release was 5, which was a compilation of five EPs that Sheeran independently released before his debut album. The label's first signee was Jamie Lawson, whom Sheeran had previously met while playing in London's folk circuit. On 9 October 2015, Gingerbread Man Records released Lawson self-titled fourth album, which achieved a number one position on the UK Albums Chart. He also signed Foy Vance that same year. The label signed Maisie Peters in 2021. As of 2023, Ed Sheeran himself is signed to the label, with Autumn Variations being his first studio album on the label.
