Edru

about

edru was born Edward Anthony Rubio III in the capital of the Lone Star State; Austin, Texas. Amongst many memories of his childhood, one stands out clear, the day he heard Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation". From then on he had a true love for hip-hop. At the age of 12 he began to play the saxophone. He only played for 2 years, but it would turn out to be an establishment of his basic understanding of music. Around 1999 he started to experiment in the world of DJ'ing. That's when it stuck and everything else in life dropped. All other hobbies no longer made sense. Over the years edru would dabble in various styles of DJ'ing; from Hip-Hop, to Drum and Bass, to Down Tempo, and then landing in turntablism. This was his true love when it came to DJ'ing. He was not a big fan of just mixing tracks; to him it was simply playing records synchronized. In turntablsim he found what he was looking for; the turntable as an instrument. In 2004 edru was scheduled to attend IAR in New York, New York. Three weeks before his departure he had to go to Los Angeles on family business. While driving back to Texas with his sister she hit a deer in AZ and totaled the car. With no money, no car, and no way to get back home, he called his friends in Los Angeles and had them pick him up. He was then essentially stuck there. This was the one event which would trigger his future. Even though the world had appeared to be against him at the time, he would soon learn it was all going in the r
