EDEN - Biography
Jonathon Ng (born 23 December 1995), better known by his stage name EDEN, is an Irish electronic music producer turned singer-songwriter based in Dublin, Ireland. He formerly operated as The Spab Project, and would upload random songs and projects onto SoundCloud. After he had outgrown that phase, he changed his name to The Eden Project, an alias that was discontinued in 2015. Ng’s work as The Eden Project typically featured more conventional styles of electronic dance music such as dubstep and drum and bass, while EDEN saw him venturing into a more indie pop style. He made this alias change in April 2015, after the release of Final Call.
In an interview for Billboard, EDEN gives a little information about himself. He didn’t enjoy his school’s music subjects, yet started writing music at the early age of 7 or 8, and even performed in a band with some of his friends at the age of 13 or 14.
EDEN’s main inspirations are varied. He enjoyed Rihanna while at school, whereas his current musical inspiration ranges from Kendrick Lamar to even Hans Zimmer.
