QUICK BIO

edo was born in the crisp air of California's pacific coast. A lonely Takemine hung in a crowded guitar store overshadowed by vintage gibson's, fender's and custom made classics. The guitar's initial context set the tone for edo's unconventional style. Bravado overcame shyness as neophyte musician edo rented studio time with no songs. The flabbergasted engineer metamorphasized into a producer giving unto edo a template which, given time, would bear fruit. Funk, rock, pop, hip hop...whatever came to mind was laid on tape.
2 years pass as edo moves to the city where he cut his musical teeth. Houston, TX. edo was in an avant-hard noise band featured in SXSW99, when his then girlfriend heard the first demo he ever cut and pointed out that was the direction to head. He landed a weekly gig at the "Mausoleum" in Houston's Montrose district, and began to court an audience with his quirky songs and lush harmonies. One day a radio personality mused at how one of edo's songs would sound great in spanish. Unbeknownst to them, edo's first language is spanish! A demo is cut... and so begins the meteoric rise of this budding talent. Openers for Plastilina Mosh, Jumbo, and Moenia, Genitallica; BMG showcases; Radio performances and interviews: and Local Network Television appearances soon followed. And, of course, the gypsy's need to move...so he headed west for Austin.

edo's current lineup includes Bobby Perkins (Topaz) on bass, Brad Schmerbeck (Pail) on Drums, Nelson Valente (Maneja Beto) on lead guitar, Haydn Vitera on violin, and, Ian Varley (Drop Trio) on the keyboard..we all united during the austin 2007 freeze @ A-Valve Studios and tracked with Paul Zanetti, then mixed with "Red Herring."
So what's next? How a 'bout an EP fueled by a modern sound? Edo's new recording promises uncompromising Spanish and English Indie with songs like "Angel Cynthia", "Start Tumbling", and "Menos Mal". Stay tuned for the release of edo's debut EP..."GEISHA MEXICANA"
