Eduardo Rodriguez Jr. better known as Eddie or Eddie Murxx is a Cuban-born Miami based artist. At the age of 5 months his parents fled communist Cuba in June 1994 in search of freedom. Originally arriving at the Florida Keys, Eddie's family moved to Hialeah, a small city on the outskirts of Miami. While attending John G. Dupuis elementary, Eddie started developing a love for beating on things which led him to apply for his middle school band as an elective. On the first day of 6th grade, Eddie noticed he was not given the band class he so highly hoped for. For the rest of his middle school career, Eddie listened to a lot of heavy rock music and started air drumming with a pair of sticks he had obtained from the video game Rock Band. By 8th grade Eddie was heavily influenced by bands like Alesana, The Devil Wears Prada, Attack Attack! And was a helping hand for local band A Purpose Driven Life. In high school, Eddie finally got the band class he hoped for since 6th grade only to realise that he didn't want to be "boxed up" into certain genres. For Christmas of 2009/10 he asked his parents for a drum set and from then on out he collaborated on hard rock projects with friends and collaborators Alex Ycasa, Pedro Vasallo, Andy Valdez, George Diaz. By the beginning of his junior year, Eddie was starting to get involved with weed and eventually led him to a year and a half of broken relationships and family issues. Although his family always fully supported anything he did, they were not fond of his newly found indulgence. After high school, Eddie enrolled in Full Sail University for Entertainment Business, after a year there he decided he was going to call it quits and withdrew from school. Eddie moved back down with his parents and took over his father's Air Conditioning/ Electrical company alongside his brother. In summer of 2013 Eddie's friend and collaborator Phelan Palacios calls Eddie and tells him "Yo my mom has like 3k in guitar center credit, should I get a better guitar or buy recording equipment?" Instantly Eddie said "You have a nice guitar let's get what we need to record" The same day, Eddie and Phelan went to guitar center and bought all of their start up equipment. While setting all of this equipment up, Migos' Versace is the hottest track out so Eddie says "Yo, this beat is hard as fuck, let's mess around with it." From there's Eddie fell in love with the entire studio/ songwriting/ production vibe and has kept making music ever since. He is now the founder and owner of Lose Your Mind Records
