"Ederson"
Born Ederson Beauvois on january 23rd, 1986 in
Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Ederson spent his younger
years surrounded by the large and creative Beauvois
clan. Early musical influences ranged from classic
French soul music, beloved by his mother, to the
modern rhythms of traditional Haitian music he heard
from his brother Jon, a professional pianist.
When he was 10, his parents moved the family to the
US, where he spent some years in Florida. He later moved to Massachusetts where he attended high school in the city of Somerville, and still resides nearby. Living in the US, he was exposed to R&B legends Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, and Baby Face among other R&B greats.
Ederson spent much of his high school years working alone, writing
and singing. He was later discovered by his brother
Marc Beauvois, also a songwriter, who immediately recognized
Ederson’s natural talent and star power. Managing
his carreer was the next logical step, and they began
working to develop Ederson’s youthful voice into the
sophisticated and consistently wide vocal range he now
controls. Their first collaborative CD was “Out of the
Darkness”, in 2005, with Ederson producing all nine
tracks as well as co-writing three of the songs. Most recently, he co-wrote “Flying High” and “On Fire” and “Cadillac Pimpin”, his newest singles. All three songs will be part of a new album
to be released in 2009.
Ederson’s unique sounds have been variously
described as Jazz, Soul, or a modern R&B, but none of
these fully captures his elusive and captivating
music. His diverse background and influences can most
clearly be seen in his sophisticated approach to
producing beats and melodies. His smooth combinations
of pulse-racing bass and sultry vocals evoke hot
nights and steamy encounters.
