From Foster Care to the Mic
Eddie’s journey into music began at just 11 years old. “It was therapy for me as a kid,” he reveals. “I was going through a lot of struggles with my family.” By 12, he was placed in the foster care system, separated from his loved ones. “Music became my family and my escape from emotional pain,” he shares.
