EDEN, born Jonathon Ng in Dublin, Ireland, is an artist who defies traditional genre boundaries,blending electronic, indie, and alternative elements into a deeply personal soundscape.Emerging from the digital underground in the mid-2010s, EDEN first gained traction throughself-released EPs End Credits (2015) and i think you think too much of me (2016), whichcollectively reached almost one billion streams worldwide and started to garner mass popularityfor him in the scene. His music, characterized by atmospheric textures, glitchy beats, andlayered vocals, often explores themes of identity, mental health, and the complexities of modernlife like in his debut album, vertigo (2018), which was lauded for its raw, introspective lyrics andinnovative production.A vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer, EDEN crafts his songs with a meticulous attentionto detail, often incorporating field recordings and unconventional sound design techniques. Hisfollow-up album, no future (2020), continued to push the envelope, showcasing a moreexpansive and cinematic approach to songwriting while retaining the intimate, confessional tonethat has become his trademark.EDEN's work resonates with a generation navigating the digital landscape, offering a voice thatis both vulnerable and unflinchingly honest. Following up his 2020 album, the eleven genre-defying tracks on ICYMI (2022) are made up of R&B hooks, ambient field recordings, crate-digging samples, and euphoric beats to tell the story of EDEN’s journey from a place ofmourning and isolation to one of community and joy. As a producer his techniques are more experimental than ever, but the songwriting is a timeless blend of melody and soul.As he continues to evolve, EDEN remains a unique force in contemporary music, challenging listeners to engage with his art on a deeper, more emotional level moving into his latest projectDark (2025) set to release this coming summer. The project displays a newly found optimismwith the idea that some things that feel so intense are out of your hands, and the only way tolive with it is to take the weight off your shoulders and find the beauty around you. A longawaited finale unfolding, Dark holds an early 2020’s border-less inspiration, effervescentlysmashing and cutting into itself leaving behind only a moment’s memory.
