EDEN Facts
- He was raised both in Hong Kong, China and in Dublin, Ireland.
- As far back as he could remember, he sang “gibberish” to the music playing on the radio.
- He began studying music theory and practicing the violin at the age of 7.
- Eden started writing music between ages 7 and 8.
- Eden taught himself how to play the piano, guitar, and drums. He “stole” his aunt’s guitar to practice before buying his own.
- When he was 13 or 14 years old, he and his friends formed a band.
- He always wanted to be a scientist or an astronaut.
- In another life, Eden would be a race car driver.
- He covered songs Blank Space by Taylor Swift, Billie Jean by Michael Jackson, and Crazy in Love by Beyonce in the past.
- The last EP that he released under his old alias, “The Eden Project,” was Final Call (2015). The last song was titled Times Like These.
- He always knew that “The Eden Project” would not be a permanent stage name for him, partially because there is a tourist attraction in England of the same name.
- In 2018, he released 2 EPs, About Time and All You Need Is Love.
- The majority of his tracks are written and recorded in his bedroom in Dublin, then uploaded to iTunes, and other music platforms.
- He never writes sheet music, despite being taught music theory as a concert violinist.
- Eden would describe his music in a word as “conscious.”
- If he had to suggest the 1st song to someone who’d never heard his music, Eden would pick start//end from his debut studio album, Vertigo (2018). He described it as “the thesis track for everything else to come.”
- Eden chose the name Vertigo for his album to signify his transition of being a normal teenager to being rapidly thrown into the music industry. He had a “dizzying, difficult few years” hence the name vertigo, a sensation of spinning that is related to problems with the inner ear.
- As of January 2020, his dream collaborations are rappers Kanye West, Jon Bellion, and Logic.
