Eddie first picked up the guitar at the age of 10, learning the basics from a neighbor. At 13, inspired by Tommy Emmanuel, he began exploring fingerstyle guitar. A year later, he had the privilege of performing alongside Tommy Emmanuel; a video of that performance became the very first one he uploaded to YouTube. Subsequently, he decided to find his own unique voice on the instrument, shifting his focus toward arranging and covering songs. In 2013, he began to take his YouTube channel more seriously, steadily building a dedicated audience.
Eddie has successfully turned his passion into a career and delights in sharing his guitar music with the world.
