Early years
Born in Accra, Ghana, in 1970, he has lived and grown up in West London most of his life, spending a small part of his early years in Paris. He was educated at Latymer Upper School, where he met Oliver Raphael and Dan Carey, and started school band ‘Garbled Reply’. He dropped out of Manchester University in 1989, after a hedonistic year spent mostly playing in bands and enjoying the varied nightlife (Hacienda, Man Alive), he went on to graduate at Thames Valley University, studying business and music production. During this time he was scraping a living on the side with various keyboard sessions (Gil Sang Kerrie), regularly in Acid Jazz’s  house band at the Blue Note, Hoxton Square alongside Mother Earth bassist Neil Corcoran, running record label Woolly Mammoth and playing in 8 piece funk band Pushmipullyu

Music Career
Pushmipullyu enjoyed the success of several releases on its own label, ‘Woolly Mammoth ’ consistently selling thousands of copies of its very sought-after 12” singles, one of which featured a remix by Ninjatune’s Funky Porcini. The band also had some success abroad, supported by legendary promoter Freddy Cousaert. Ed was also a part of Flying Fish and Delicious All Stars, with who he released a number of singles on Skyline Recordings, including a remix of LTJ Bukem's 'Sunrain', and 'The Lollipop', a collaboration with singer Jocelyn Brown.

Shortly after graduation from TVU, Ed talked himself into a job at Akai Professional, giving tech support for all the samplers, hard disk recorders and MPC products. As a musician that was just getting his career started, this was a great way to meet producers, have a studio to himself and borrow a lot of cutting edge gear. There were some great people working at Akai R&D at the time, including VCS3 creator Dave Cockerel and EMS legend Tim Orr. Ed was keen to get to know them all and put forward ideas to the R&D team. During his time there he created a software editor for the SG01 series of analog-modeled sound modules.

After Akai, with the support of producer Dominic Hawken and IT gurus Adam and Ben Laurie, Ed founded Federation Records. A gateway to electronic music, Ed learned many useful production skills and made many good friends during this period, during which he set up Central Intelligence Records with DJ Kalm.

Ed’s first big break in the world of broadcast music came in 2000 when he teamed up with old schoolfriend Oliver Raphael to create a series of idents for Ken Bruce’s show on BBC Radio 2. Oliver then founded Delicious Digital, which Ed joined as a director in 2001.

Ed’s work with Delicious since then has seen a huge variety, spanning TV, film, radio, adverts, brands and work with several recording artists. In 2004 Delicious Digital was commissioned to provide the on-air identity for India’s first national radio station, Big FM. Delicious has continued to enjoy success after success, winning numerous awards and gaining critical acclaim throughout the world.
