Said Budjerah of the work: โ€œI was so shocked to have won my first ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist at last year’s ARIAs, and it meant so much to me thatย Ed Sheeranย was the one who read my name out.ย To now be featured on the Australian remix of Edโ€™s track โ€˜2Stepโ€™ and have it released globally as Iโ€™m just starting my first overseas tour, itโ€™s really exciting!โ€ย 

Budjerah recently released the new EP, Conversations, via Warner Records. Later, he’s set to kick off a global tour that begins in London at the Jazz Cafe. He will also make stops in France before heading to North America with stops in Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York City this summer.

Sheeran’s official video for “2step” featured Lil Baby, which Sheeran unveiled last month. He filmed it in Kyiv, Ukraine, at the end of last year, ahead of the conflict now between the country and Russia.

When he released the video, Sheeran said: โ€œI filmed the video for ‘2step’ in the city of Kyiv, Ukraine before the devastating acts of violence started to take place. It was my first time visiting the country and I felt so welcomed during my stay thereโ€”everyone from the production crew to the many people I met across my days off. Ukraine is a proud and resilient country and Iโ€™m grateful to have had the chance to film my video there. I stand with Ukraine and will be donating my record royalties from YouTube streams of the video to the DECโ€™s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal x.โ€ย 

Ed Sheeran kicked off his โ€˜+ – =ย รทย xโ€™ stadium tour (pronounced โ€˜The Mathematics Tourโ€™) at the end of April. See full tour dates.
