Band/artist history
My name is Eduardo Ramirez Jr., I am a native of Chicago. My parents are both Mexican immigrants. I am a middle brother of two sisters. My childhood, like many others, was filled with drama and complications. I strongly believe that everything in life happens for a reason. My addiction to music started at the age of two. According to my mother I was already singing songs by that age. My first instruments included the harmonica, keyboard, and acoustic guitar. I joined band class in third grade where I started playing the trumpet. I had a lead role in our Christmas musical in fourth grade. By sixth grade I was performing dance routines with lip syncs in front of large crowds. Up to this day, music has always played a role in my life. I am now married with a very supportive wife and two beautiful daughters. I consider myself a very focused and driven individual, with attainable goals. I believe my open minded attitude, with my desire to succeed and being karmic, to be my greatest attributes in life. While living in reality, music makes my imagination soar. Chuck Mangione, Tito Puente, Bob Marley, B. B King, and Run DMC are a few of my musical influences, which brought me appreciation to all types of music. My goals in music are to continue to provide quality, cunning and witty lyrics, in a positive manner. I want to be able to create music for a diversified culture, with an optimistic outlook. I love giving back to the community and I feel my music enhances my opportunities to do so. My biggest objective is to obtain a vision for all children. Because this is where it starts, and after all, they are our future. Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation regarding my mission in life.
