Biography
Edward discovered drum and bass during the late '90s but didn't release his first production until 2012. The first recording to bear his name was a Jakwob and Etherwood remix of Lana Del Rey's "Video Games"; he also played guitar as part of Jakwob's band. He made his proper debut that November, when he appeared on Hospital Records' Sick Music 3 compilation with "Give It Up," an emotive track laced with multiple melodic keyboard lines. The similarly emotive "Spoken" was placed on Hospitality Drum & Bass 2013 in January 2013{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/etherwood-mn0003035961/biography|title=Etherwood {{!}} Biography & History {{!}} AllMusic|website=AllMusic|access-date=25 March 2018}}
