Edward’s work as a freelance vocalist has taken him to the world’s most prestigious stages and recording studios, from La Scala to Wembley Arena, Abbey Road to Birdland. His range stretches from rumbling bass to heartfelt solos; classical to jazz and pop; a cappella and vocal ensembles of all shapes and sizes to his own singer-songwriter projects.

Edward fell in love with vocal jazz while studying at Oxford University, and began his music career with the Voice Messengers, a French ‘vocal big band’ under the direction of the late Thierry Lalo. Between 2012 and 2022 he sang with Grammy-winning vocal group The Swingles as their low bass, performing hundreds of shows with them across five continents and 42 countries, including collaborations with artists as varied as Kurt Elling, The Ayoub Sisters, The King’s Singers, Gareth Malone, and The National Youth Choir of Great Britain.

As a freelance vocalist, Edward has sung backings for pop artists including Coldplay, Sam Smith, Tom Odell, Rae Morris, Phoebe Bridgers, Anna Calvi and David Byrne. His choral concert work includes Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress with the London Philharmonic Orchestra (2018); 2001: A Space Odyssey live at the Royal Festival Hall; and The Nightmare Before Christmas live with Danny Elfman and the BBC Concert Orchestra (2022). A highlight of Edward’s concert repertoire has been Luciano Berio’s Sinfonia for eight amplified voices and orchestra, which he has performed under some of the world’s finest conductors including Marin Alsop, Michael Tilson Thomas and Vladimir Jurowsky.

Since his first encounter with the film world at age 13 (with an acting role as Justin Finch-Fletchley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) Edward has loved being part of the storytelling process. He regularly records as a session singer for film scores, with credits including No Time To Die, Cruella, Raya and the Last Dragon, The Marvels, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Doctor Strange, Don’t Look Up, The Conjuring 2, and the Jurassic World series. He also co-wrote a song for the film Downsizing, starring Matt Damon.
