You can listen to his new track 'Sex' on Spotify
EDEN, real name Jonathan Ng, has signed with the famous Scooter Braun management agency (Justin Bieber, Usher, etc.).
Classically trained from a young age, it wasn’t until he began learning new instruments on his own that he discovered his passion for songwriting. Frustrated with the lack of creative control in band and orchestral groups, EDEN began to hone his talents at the age of 16. From the bedroom of his childhood Dublin home he began to cultivate a large online following, and establish in his own mind the vision for EDEN's future.
Today, the 20-year-old vocalist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist seeks to provide the world with an experience that is both uncompromising and authentic. “It goes beyond music really,” EDEN explains. “I want to give people something to hold onto.”
Utilizing a “less-is-more” approach, EDEN emphasizes a blend of organic and synthesized instruments to create a unique and visceral sound. He seamlessly blends elements of influences that range from Queen and Skrillex to Kendrick Lamar and Hans Zimmer.

In August of 2015 EDEN released his debut EP End Credits. The free release, which he wrote and produced entirely in his bedroom, has amassed over 27 million cumulative streams to date. As a follow up to the success of End Credits, EDEN made one of his boldest moves yet: releasing his unique cover of Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' in November 2015. The cover gained a million cumulative streams in just a week, hitting #1 on HypeM's popular chart and landing a spot in Spotify's New Music Friday, demonstrating EDEN's resonance with his ever-growing fanbase.
EDEN has since been writing and recording music at an astounding rate and 2016 promises to be a breakout year for this extraordinary young talent.
