He will appear as himself in an episode later this year.The 24-year-old also recently brokered a deal with Warner Music Group to create a label to launch new acts. "I've set up my first record label, it's called Gingerbread and [British singer-songwriter] Jamie Lawson is my first signing," he told Nova FM. "I wanted Australia to be the launch pad because Australia is a country that I feel would really really dig Jamie"Sheeran said he decided to back new artists after he discovering singer-songwriter Passenger: "The first time I properly thought about it was when I took Passenger on tour for two years. I took him into my record company and played them the record but they didn’t get it. Then I was too busy on my own stuff and I let it slide."Then he had a worldwide number one hit. After that, everyone was like, 'Maybe Ed does know what he's talking about'."
