“I’m different.”

These are the words that ED, m.a.e.s.t.r.o. candidly uses to describe himself, and when listening to his music it doesn’t take long to discover that he is telling the truth. ED, m.a.e.s.t.r.o. brings a new and refreshing sound to the world of Gospel music. Combining heartfelt, bible based lyrics with his own style of musical and vocal production; his songs pull you in quickly and leave your fingers longing for the rewind button on your cd or mp3 player.

Though his roots are in the Pentecostal/Apostolic church, ED, m.a.e.s.t.r.o.’s sound has a diversity that allows anyone to find themselves in his music. Musically it is hard to put this artist into a specific category, because he produces whatever is in his heart at the time, rather than purposely trying to target a specific demographic. While some feel obligated to be politically correct lyrically, ED, m.a.e.s.t.r.o. is not afraid to push the envelope, penning songs that tackle a wide range of topics, challenging and encouraging us to include Christ in all that we do.

Encouraging, uplifting, and most importantly anointed, ED, m.a.e.s.t.r.o. is truly an artist who we can expect God to use to make an indelible mark on the Gospel music industry for generations to come.

Why this name?
I was given the name Edmaestro by some of my artist friends that I did production for years ago. When I felt that I should use that as my stage name I asked God what the meaning of it was and he gave me Ministering Against Every Stronghold Torment Roadblock and Oppression.
Do you play live?
I love the studio, but I love performing live even more. You have so much more freedom to go where the songs take you in the moment.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has opened the door for independent artists like myself to be successful. We are able to do the music that we love and represent ourselves the way we see fit. No longer do artists HAVE to compromise themselves or their music to be heard.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It would have to be the right deal. Mainly looking for distribution.
Your influences?
It is really hard to compare me to anyone because although I've been inspired by different artists, I really don't sound like any of them. Some of the artists who have inspired me are Fred Hammond, Commissioned, Jeremy Camp, David Crowder Band, Chris Tomlin, Kirk Franklin, Micah Stampley, Smokie Norful, and Israel Houghton.
Favorite spot?
New Jersey all the way! Alot of talented Gospel artists here that need to be heard.
Equipment used:
(Studio) Motif ES6, Protools 7
(Live) Me, Ipod, and any live musicians who happen to be on set at the time.
Anything else...?

Think about it...

Many don't take excess salt out of their diets even though it can cause health problems.

Many don't take smoking cigarettes out of their routine even though they cause cancer and death.
Many don't take heavy credit card use out of their routine even though they're piling up debt.

Many don't take people out of their lives even though they're being abused and mistreated by them.

Yet many artists take the name of Jesus out of their songs for the sake of a cross-over hit and call it "using wisdom".

A bit backwards...don't you think???
