He is a 27 year old Southern California native born in Anaheim in the year of 1991. He graduated from a local community college with an associates in Interdisciplinary studies before leaving out of state to study on his bachelor's and now returns to finish what he started. He is really just another ordinary person trying to live his passion in what is becoming a not so ordinary world. E.D.Y. is capable of expressing his thoughts, feelings, emotions and straight facts through his music. His wordplay is reminiscent to a select few who've set the stage for artists like himself to be heard. His selection and meshing of genres bring a variety of new chills, feelings and emotions to the ear.
Being in a mixed family allowed E.D.Y. to be around a variety of genres of music as a child growing up.

What does E.D.Y. even mean...?
It stands for Empires Die Young. For myself, it is a metaphor to help remind myself to remain humble wherever my journey takes me and take advantage of the opportunities and experiences you can be exposed to. But more importantly, it is also a warning to remain smart and aware about how you go about your business because one day your business may or will not be present.
