When Ed was 6 years old, his parents thought it was a good idea that he should take accordion lessons.

When he was 12 the first concert he saw was the Beach Boys and then he saw the Beatles and that was it…Ed was hooked on music.  Ever since then music has been a major part of his life.

Ed started playing the drums at 12 and then gravitated to the guitar, piano and vocals and then songwriting.  When Ed was 15 when his band first recorded in a studio.
