My Interest in Music
My journey in music, DJ’ing, and production has been a central part of my life for over 15 years. It all began when my older brother introduced me to turntable DJ’ing as a teenager, lending me his favorite CDs and showing me the ropes. This early exposure sparked a deep-rooted passion that has stayed with me ever since. My transition from fan to hobbyist DJ took a significant leap forward after my military service, during my college years. It was then that a resident DJ in Rochester spotted my potential and offered me an opportunity that led to a year-long residency as a DJ. This experience opened doors for me to play in various locations, including Toronto, New York City, Rochester, Buffalo, and even Ibiza, Spain.
Over the years, my love for electronic beats and rhythms has driven me to continuously learn and explore, balancing the challenges of juggling hobbies and work. Music has been more than just a pastime for me; it’s been a journey of expression and discovery. Recently, I’ve returned to being a hobbyist DJ, focusing on creating and publishing mixes for my own enjoyment, and sharing them with others who share my passion.
My Music Project, “Ed Vedra”
Enter “Ed Vedra” – my music profile that echoes the mystical allure of Ibiza’s natural landmark called “Es Vedra.” As Ed Vedra, I blend House and Techno with an eclectic mix of Afro, Balearic, Bohemian, and Ethereal vibes, creating a sound that’s as fitting for a relaxed poolside afternoon as it is for a vibrant nightclub setting.
Ed Vedra selections are a tapestry of cultural sounds and percussions, capturing the essence of diverse musical traditions. With two distinct mix series on Mixcloud – “Vedra by Day” for laid-back daytime moods and “Vedra by Night” for the more intense, tribal beats – I aim to offer auditory experiences that cater to various settings and moods.
