About Me


Eddie played all the instruments and sang all the vocals on his 26-song debut CD, "Soul Solution", released in late 2006 by TrueGroove Music.
Eddie Kanani is an energetic recording artist who has performed in 22 states as well as overseas. He is also an artistic songwriter with the producing skills of today's hot beatmakers along the likes of Timbaland or Scott Storch. Eddie played all the instruments and sang all the vocals on his 26-song debut CD, "Soul Solution", released in late 2006 by TrueGroove Music. (You can get your copy today with free shipping by clicking on the "click here to buy now" button on the left side of this page.) Eddie delivers a musical gumbo of R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop, Neo-Funk & Soul that first hooks you with the beat and then encourages your heart with the lyrics. The songs for the CD were chosen by gradually narrowing down the selections from a field of more than 500 songs Eddie has written. Other material from the song selection process has sparked a vision for future worship, solo piano, and retro-funk CD projects...stay tuned!
