Brenin James Edmunds who was born in Scarborough, Ontario in 1987 is not your ordinary struggling musician. Throughout the last 10 years, Brenin has done more with his music then most people do in a life time, and he's just starting. In early 2000, Brenin began producing and mastering his own hip-hop recordings. Although the musicianship needed work, the producing efforts were outstanding for a 13 year old.

After a slew of 'demo' type hip-hop albums that were distributed throughout the areas Brenin resided, he began working in rock music with the band Mudorcs. After releasing 3 albums by 2004, Mudorcs took a hiatus and Brenin persued a solo-rock career as well as producing more hip-hop. In 2005, Brenin independently released his first rock effort In Doubt. The album featured the songs Float and Soul'd which did somewhat well, but the album as a whole was a flop. In 2006, Brenin (as his alias RUBiX) signed an independent record contract with California based Iron Fist Entertainment and released the album Somewhere Between Me and Myself'. The album took well, but due to artistic differences, Brenin parted with Iron Fist Entertainment. Also in 2006, Brenin released his follow-up 'rock' record called Project Underdog, Due to it's digital nature of style, Brenin named the genre 'New Millenium Wave'. The album did well on some radio stations with it's single A Break in the Chain of Reaction and was distributed through CafePress.com.

In between 2006-2009, Brenin kept fairly quiet as far as music was concerned. He enrolled into college, dropped out and persued work to finance his arts. In 2008, Brenin Edmunds distributed a 'mix-tape' type album titled A Taste of Things to Come which featured unheard acoustic songs, new and old hip-hop songs, acapella tracks and rock oriented tracks (including a cover of Radiohead's Creep). Soon after that, Brenin began working on MUSAIC.

In March 2009, Brenin Edmunds released his 3rd solo rock effort titled Don't Trust Anyone...And Watch What Happens When I Do This. Considered to be a MUSAIC of genres, the album features straight rock tracks such as Point of View and Going to Hell, hard rock tracks such as Tear Out My Heart and Burn!, radio-friendly pop track Meet You and even a touch of hip-hop with the old school influenced track What a World. This album was released on March 12th 2009 through Amazon.com's distribution service.

After completing Don't Trust Anyone...And Watch What Happens When I Do This... Brenin decided to move back into hip-hop. Not having worked on anything hip-hop related in roughly 4 years, it was speculated that his touch was lost...not the case. The 11 tracks available on the brand new album North American Hero are some of the finest, well written and catchy hip-hop songs ever written by Brenin Edmunds. A major difference between previous hip-hop albums, and this one also is that Brenin has decided to shed himself of an alias. Also the name RUBiX appears in a few tracks, a preference has been made using his real name.

A new record, featuring the work of DJ Vektor with full instrumentation by Brenin Edmunds is slated for 2013-14. Make sure you keep your eyes open for brand new material.
