The Man

R&B Artist Eddie Howard is a romantic old soul, but he's not very old. Influenced by the sounds of Babyface, Teddy Pendergrass, and the Leverts, Eddie developed his own unique musical style he calls "romance with an edge". It's smooth, sexy, tender, and it grabs you where it shouldn't. At the age of seven, Eddie was handed his first guitar by his uncle and mentor, blues musician MacArthur Jones. Jones taught him the basics and Eddie soared from there, learning bass and lead guitar, keyboards, and trumpet. At age 11, he wrote and played his first love song to an appreciative audience, and he's been serenading his fans ever since. While growing up in Louisiana, Eddie played in local bands all of his growing up years. After graduating from high school, he spread his wings and joined the Air Force where he fast became known as "Eddie the Entertainer". In the military, he was hired to tour with the popular variety show called, "Tops and Blue", However; due to military obligation he was unable to travel with the show that toured for over a year throughout Japan and across the United States. When Eddie got out of the Air Force, he formed the R&B/Rap group, "Real". After a few years, he went solo, opening for such acts as "The Whispers" and playing popular clubs in L.A. like The Roxy, Carlos N' Charlie's, and the Roxbury. For the past few years, Eddie has been in his recording studio spending more time perfecting his craft, churning out romantic songs for other artists, and producing new talent. He currently lives in Southern California, with his wife, Cassandra and three children. To contact Eddie Howard E-mail at eddiehoward@copperstreetrecords.com .
