Love Is, New D. Edward Album available October 21, 2014

Well I think I have ignored my blog long enough.  I apologize for not showing my blog enough attention.  So where to start... it's been so long!
Last June 2013 I started promoting my song Truly to Smooth Jazz/ AC radio finally... it was way late but better late than never!
So far I've promoted as singles "Truly" and "There She Goes" and it has been fairly successful! They've been making way onto radio stations across the USA and Canada.  My song "Love's Eternal" was picked up by V103 in Chicago for their Steppers Show and that was a pretty big deal for me, considering Chicago is the #2 radio market in America and V103 is the #1 station in Chicago!
We are going to start promoting my next 2 singles "Keep Loving You" and "The Passage" in the next two weeks.  I hope you'll hear them on a radio station near you over the next 8 weeks!

This week I just got home from a week in Los Angeles for the Grammys.  It was a magical time and a few of my friends won! One of my best friends Laura Sullivan won for Best New Age album as well as my friends the Pacific Mambo Orchestra (Best Tropical album), Brent Fischer (Best Instrumental Composition) and Jennifer Gasoi (Best Children's Album).
I plan on being in their very select group soon!

I also busy making a new record for 2014! So I'll keep you posted as things get closer to release!

I'm still working as a percussionist with ConFunkShun and they too will be releasing a new record for the first time in many decades.  So be on the look out for that as well.

I'll up date you more soon!

All Love!

The Way You Love Me - D. Edward - New Album Coming Soon

I Blinked My Eyes and All of a Suddenly...

Latest News!

This year so far has been really productive for me and my music.  At the beginning of the year, I had my mind set to release a new album this year but then in March I, finally, released a music video for my song "Truly".  

It's been pretty well received by those that have seen it.  If you haven't seen it yet, it is on YouTube at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFCQewq8MdM

Thanks in part to this video release, there has been new found interest in my Little Red Box album.  Available here http://theLittleRedBox.com

So as of right this minute, I have decided to delay a new album and continue to promote Little Red Box.  The good thing this is, I have been working on new music for about a year and a half. So it's pretty much ready to go!

"Truly" has also been getting spins and added to radio stations around the country and the internet.  In the past week, it's been added to these stations:

Billboard airplay:

• WXJZ/Gainesville, FL

• WEIB/Springfield, MA 

• KUNV/Las Vegas, NV

Smooth Jazz airplay:

• WFSS/Fayetteville, NC

• WJAB/Huntsville, AL

• WMWM/Salem, NC

• WMRT/Marietta, OH

• SmoothJazz.com/Global Radio

• GrooveSuite.com/

• TM Studios/Music sampler used for retail in store airplay, armed forces radio

• WITD at Live365.com/

• SmoothJazzAndMore.com/

• ChocolateJazz.com/

• CJazzChannel.com/

• GotRadio.com/Jazz So Smooth

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it gains momentum and continues to be added on more and more radio stations.  Very shortly I will be shooting another video for my song "Keep Loving You" and hopefully will start doing more shows.  I'm getting the band geared up for the summer and I hope to see you on stage somewhere!

Thanks for your support!

It's been a long time, I shouldn't of left you w/o a dope beat to step to

Happy 2013!
It's been too too long since I last posted to my blog but I hope you have found me in other places in the webosphere!

I've been working on new material, for over a year, to follow up my Little Red Box release and also trying to get LRB out there for everyone to hear.  I had been working to produce a video, since last spring, for my song Truly, but due to a not so reliable film maker, that project seemed like it would never happen.  Thanks to my very good friend Pierre Parker, (film maker and drummer for Lenny Williams), I finally found a film maker that could make this happen with me.  His name is Will Yick. We released the video on March 8, 2013 and it's well received.
So long story short, I was ready to let LRB go and release a new album, when the new Truly video breathed new life into the project.

As you may, or may not know, I also perform with the legendary R&B group ConFunkShun.  After seeing the Truly Video, their road manager, Rickey Richardo told me "You know the music on Little Red Box is classic music and doesn't have a shelf life" meaning continue focusing on promoting LRB instead of pushing to release something new right now.  Him saying that and all the other positive responses I have received about the video, it made me rethink the new release date.

So I've decided to release a few more videos from LRB over the next few months and am currently promoting Truly as a single to Smooth A/C (Jazz) radio.  The campaign began today May 6 and it's been added to the rotation of 2 stations, so far.  KUNV in Las Vegas, NV and WEIB in Springfield, MA!
So please listen to your local Smooth Jazz/AC radio station and request it! Call them and tell them you love it and to play it more!!! :-)
I am INDIE and need my folks support!

Truly - Official Music Video

It's been a while... here's what has been happening

I've been busy the past several months and have neglected my bogging! Please forgive me. Since I last wrote , I've been busy promoting Little Red Box. I've also been playing with ConFunkShun and some other local bands. I've done a few really fun shows with ConFunkShun in Las Vegas and The Sleeptrain Pavilion in Concord, CA. The Concord show was preety big and at home. It featured CFS, En Vogue, Toni Tony Tone, Lenny Williams, The E Family(w/Pete & Sheila Escovedo) and MC Hammer. The Vegas show we did was with Brick. They were all so cool and nice, it always humbles me to be around such legendary artists and to have them be so kind. I was also playing with a local group of musicians(Rene Escovedo, Ben Reyes, Steve Laciak, Johnny De La Cruz) that collectively are called "A Gozar" which means "to enjoy" in Spanish. I have so much fun playing with them because they play a great cross section of music. From Johnny Cash to Jay Z to Otmart Liebert to original music.
Now about my own project...I've gotten the live band together and we will be playing our debut show at The Depot at San Francisco State University on Nov 2, 2011. It's a great band and it's sure to be a great show. I'm very excited to finally get it together. I've done a radio interview with DJ Malachi for Luv Luv Radio. The East Bay Express newspaper also did a great review of Little Red Box. This is what they wrote: "D. Edward, Little Red Box
"Oh, that raspy, chalky, sleepy, forlorn, borderline soft-rocky male tenor.
Balladeer D. Edward does it with near-perfect intonation, bouncing off words, squeezing phrases, and bending vowels. At his best, he sounds a lot like John Mayer."
Rachel Swan - East Bay Express." Getting reviews like this affirm that I doing the right thing. On an unfortunate note, my friend and singer, Tamara Green, who sings Homeward Bound with me and her struggle with Breast Cancer was the inspiration of this song, is once again fighting cancer. I HATE CANCER!!! There is a fund set up for her and her family, The Tamara Green Wellness and Caring Fund, to help the financially and I hope that you will donate whatever you can to help. I will also be donating half of the profits of album sales of Little Red Box. So if you buy an album I will give half of everything I make from it. I love Tamara and her family and she's a fighter and inspires me everyday!
Well that's it for now and I know I say this in every blog but I will be updating my blog more often. I PROMISE!!!
All Love to you from
D. Edward
ps: Please share this blog with everyone you know. Thanks!

The Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure

Well the 4th of July weekend is here and the weather in the San Francisco Bay Area is spectacular. There is no other place in the world with weather like we have here.
I have a duet on Little Red Box called Homeward Bound it features my friend and breast cancer survivor Tamara Green. I was inspired to write it, by her experience dealing with the horrible disease called Cancer. I am truly blessed to have her singing with me on this song!
I've decided to donate a $1 for every CD or full album download sold, between July and September 2011 to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure Organization. So please buy your copy of Little Red Box today!
Let's help find a cure for cancer and also have some great music to listen to, while supporting a great cause!
Love and Peace
