Biography
Jimmy Edgar is the poster child of sound couture. He dropped studies in
fashion and design to concentrate on making music, has a background in
art production and style. He snatches influences from his native
Detroit: its decay, its fashion and its eclectic music scene. Edgar has
been stitching beats since he was 10, when he produced sounds
electronically and fashioned his first analogue pieces. He was
influenced mostly by jazz, funk, street beat and R&B in his early
years. Edgar began his career by playing the drums in experimental bands
and by making tape recordings (via Last fm)
