US-based Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer, Edidiong Udoidiong, popularly known as Ed Singer, has said that even though he has met a lot of big names in his career, his mother is still the biggest influence on his career.

He told Saturday Beats, “I grew up seeing my mother singing in church choir. She has a beautiful voice and she has always been my number one inspiration. When I turned 12, I joined the church choir and I started to sing and learn how to play the keyboard. Eventually, I started writing music.”


Speaking on his style of music, Ed Singer said, “I try to infuse my African roots into my music and add a bit of western flavour. Some of the American artistes that have also influenced me are Bruno Mars, Seal, Adam Levine and Michael Jackson.”

Meanwhile, the dynamic entertainer is currently promoting his latest single, ‘Paradise,’ which was influenced by the late Michael Jackson’s hit song, “Beat It.” Ed Singer has worked with Grammy Award winners, including Michael Brauer, a five-time Grammy Award-winning mixer, Ben Bram, Grammy Award-winning producer/vocal arranger, Joe Laporta, among others.
