It’s an honour to be named as one of TikTok's Breakthrough artists of the year.

He shared a video, which has now been deleted, of himself looking at the tour poster, which included his name, telling his fans: 'I remember picking up my first acoustic guitar when I was about 13 and asking my friend to teach me how to play “small bump”, I remember standing on street corners every weekend and singing Ed’s entire catalogue and looking up to him as a songwriter every day.
'I remember every time I sat down and tried to write a song as good as “gimme love” , I remember being so inspired by a guy in a hoodie playing some real songs that he wrote and thinking one day I wanna do that. Not sure how I ended up here and not sure what it even means as it really all feels like a dream right now. Thank you @teddysphotos for having me join you for this special tour. You have no idea how much it means to me! 🤍 thank you to my amazing fans for supporting me as without you these things would never happen 🫶'
In September 2024, Cian told us more about his friend Ed Sheeran, admitting he's one of the nicest people around. "Ed’s the nicest, nicest guy ever," Cian said.
"He's so, so lovely, so kind, so humble, so normal. I mean, everything that you've heard and everything that I've said a million times, he's a huge inspiration."
Cian went on to reveal that despite being a huge star, and selling out stadiums around the world, he also makes time for his family, dropping his kids at school. Cian explained: "Ed Sheeran blows my mind. He's like a phenomenon, it's like this guy who somehow managed to be so low key, but is the biggest star in the world.
"And I'm just like, how are you? I think I saw him recently enough, we were at a studio together in the countryside and he was just, you know, talking about dropping his kids to school, Monday to Friday and just like having this kind of life.
"And then he's, like, playing these huge sold-out stadium shows, breaking records on the weekend and I'm like, what is going on? Like, who are you like, how is this? How is this even possible?
“Yeah, he's just the sweetest, most like down to earth guy.”
