East Edwards has a knack for writing pop songs that cross the lines of many genres and with lyrics that all audiences can relate to and melodies that are easy to get stuck in their heads. With a voice with hints of vibrato and that can be both haunting and smooth, East Edwards creates a sound that is unique when it comes to acoustic singer-songwriters.

About

East Edwards is not your traditional acoustic singer-songwriter. Originally, East Edwards was a solo synth-based project but due to being unable to do his synth-based music live the way he would like to, East Edwards took his songs and broke them down to catchy, ear grabbing acoustic songs.

East Edwards has a knack for writing pop songs that cross the lines of many genres and with lyrics that all audiences can relate to and melodies that are easy to get stuck in their heads. With a voice with hints of vibrato and that can be both haunting and smooth, East Edwards creates a sound that is unique when it comes to acoustic singers. With no particular style in mind, East Edward's music touches on alternative, jammy, country, rock and pop in general. His lyrics paint a scene for each song taking listeners along his musical journey into love, heartbreak, happiness, sadness and all the little things in between.
