Edwin's initiation into the music world began for him at the tender age of 9 when the drummer of his elder brother's band was not available and they discovered that he had a natural flair with the drums and could play fairly well at that age. He was roped in to perform with them and this further led him to performing at clubs with groups such as the Poor Boys, Cellar Hi-5 and backing shows. Upon leaving school, Edwin formed a band called Pieces and played in many towns all over Malaysia. After leaving the club scene and joining Yamaha Music in the marketing division, Edwin continued his affiliation with the drums by playing with groups backing local and international Artistes such as Fauziah Latiff, Salamiah Hassan and Johnny Tillotson. Armed with an undying passion for creativity and experimentation with rhythms and percussions, Edwin, besides being the 'sound effects and suggestion box' man in the group is also the main player of the conventional drums and one of the founding members of the band.
