Eddie G has been performing in the music business since the 1970's. Over the last 10 years Eddie G has performed as the lead front man for the old school funk group "The Original Lakeside" singing their classic hits "Fantastic Voyage" and "It's All The Way Live”. Eddie G has most recently connected with California Bay Area DJ/Producer "DJ K-Style" and created his first solo album "Rock N Roll"
Being an independent artist has been a dream come true as he has been able to create his own music and perform what he feels with no one controlling his moves.
Both in childhood and throughout his career, Gospel music and Funk have each played influential roles in shaping Eddie G’s musical sensibilities. Growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at 9 years old he was inspired by his uncle who had his own music group, where he watched them rehearse and would sing along. He knew he wanted to entertain. He sang in the Gospel church for years and admits that he didn’t begin to sing outside the worship environment until he was 18 years old.
Over a period of more than 40 years, Eddie G has performed with old school music greats such as El Debarge, Switch, The Temptations, Natalie Cole, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Bobby Blue Bland, Ohio Players, Dramatics, Dazz Band, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Bark Kays, Brothers Johnson, The Manhattans, Troop, Stephanie Mills, Jeffrey Osborne and Lenny Williams.
“I’ve been having the time of my life,” says the R&B/funk pioneer of his first single “Rock N Roll”. His first single inspired by the great “Little Richard” has been the perfect introduction to show his vision of funk, combined with the modern feel of today’s bass driven R&B tracks.
Eddie G’s upcoming album will have a wide range, ready for radio tracks, such as his second release, a smooth soulful track titled “Oh No”. A steppers track titled “Can’t Stop Thinking About You”, a scintillating duet featuring British singer Sonna Rele. A bass driven R&B/Hip Hop track, ready for the clubs titled “Been A Long Time” featuring Hip Hop star “Kurupt”. And a Wedding ballad titled “The Love We had” featuring the great “Don Diego” on Sax, just to name a few.
“The most fulfilling part of this musical journey has been experiencing, in real time, my evolution as an artist,” Eddie G says. “My mindset has shifted dramatically and is light years away from when I was a young vocalist, focusing on being flashy. But as I have grown as an artist and especially as a person, I like to think I have developed as a composer and songwriter of maturity and depth as well as a vocalist.
