Born and raised in London, Edi discovered her love of singing aged ten when she walked into her first singing lesson with an open mind and a musical theatre song well out of her vocal range. Through years of hard work, looking up to vocal greats like Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, Edi branched out from singing musical theatre and pop songs to discover her passion for singing old soul and rock tunes. 

Following a few rough years and mental health struggles Edi lost touch with herself and music, finally reconnecting with both when trying to navigate the complex emotions she was left with. Through this exploration Edi began to write her own songs, open letters to purge all that was left unsaid. Unapologetic, a bit dark and deeply authentic, Edi Ried’s songs reflect her feelings and struggles, providing a window into her mind. If you’ve ever felt too small to matter or that your feelings are too big to express, Edi Ried’s music will encourage you to take up space, say what you feel and be nothing but authentically yourself.

Edi’s vocal power, emotive melodies and eloquent expression invite you to experience sound with a soul. With soulful vocals, rock heavy guitar, bassy drums and entrancing keys, Edi Ried will capture and move you, inviting you to witness raw emotional expression and feel as she does, deeply and freely.
