By synthesizing instrumental hip hop with downtempo and further blending it with his deep love for world music, it’s safe to say Edamame has carved a musical style that is truly unique. In his own words he simply creates “songs that help you float”. Since starting in 2012, he has put out 12 releases (and counting) that have garnered tens of thousands of downloads, played his music live for fans coast to coast and internationally, had songs played on the radio in countries around the world, and even had United Airlines buy songs from him. He’s also a proud member of Emancipator‘s Loci Records as well as Gravitas Recordings, home to the like-minded CloZee. It may be hard to believe that he used to be a nationally touring death metal vocalist.
