Jonathon Ng (born 23 December 1995), better known by his stage name EDEN, is an Irish electronic music producer turned singer-songwriter based in Dublin, Ireland. He formerly operated as The Spab Project, uploading random songs and projects onto SoundCloud. Becoming more serious with his aspirations, he changed his name to The Eden Project, an alias that was discontinued in 2015. Ng’s work as The Eden Project typically featured more conventional styles of electronic dance music such as dubstep and drum and bass, while EDEN saw him venturing into a more indie pop style. He made this alias change in April 2015, after the release of Final Call.
In an interview for Billboard, EDEN shares that he didn’t enjoy his school’s music subjects, yet started writing music at an early age of 7 or 8, and even performed in a band with some of his friends at the age of 13 or 14.
EDEN’s main inspirations are varied. He enjoyed Rihanna while at school, whereas his current musical inspiration ranges from Kendrick Lamar to even Hans Zimmer.
Some of his previous inspiration is also credited to Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson, with his cover of Jackson’s Billie Jean further proving his admiration.
On 8 August 2015, Ng’s EP End Credits was released for free download worldwide. The EP was released under Ng’s own label, MCMXCV (which stands for 1995) and under UK-based label Seeking Blue Records. “Nocturne” and “Gravity” were both released as singles in June and July respectively. The whole EP has accumulated over 14 million plays on Soundcloud.
On 22 March 2016, Ng began the End Credits Tour, with concerts in Dublin, London, Toronto, New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Tickets were sold out within a week, and an additional venue was set up in New York City due to popular demand. The tour ended on 8 April.
Following the End Credits Tour, Ng announced his new album, i think you think too much of me which would be released on 19 August 2016. On 10 June, his first single, “sex” was released. A day before its official release, Billboard premiered the next single, “drugs” on 14 July. A music video was later put out for “drugs” on 18 August, which has over 34 million views on YouTube. A 360-degree VR experience for “drugs” was later released, receiving 1.5 million views on Facebook within a week. i think you think too much of me features a remake of “Fumes” which was originally released under The Eden Project, this time featuring a new verse sung by Gnash in place of the instrumental. The album also features re-releases of “XO” and a remastered version of “Circles”, originally released under The Eden Project alias. Ng promoted I think you think too much of me through the Futurebound Tour, which began on 7 September 2016 in Vancouver, Canada. The tour included 33 performances in North America and Europe, which concluded on 16 November with a final show in Paris, France.
On 18 September 2017, Ng released his first song since his international tour, “start//end”, the lead single for his first ever studio album, vertigo, followed by “gold” and “crash”. vertigo debuted on 19 January 2018 under his MCMXCV label and was distributed by Astralwerks. Written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered entirely by himself, the album set a new pace for Ng’s music moving forward. In “365x: 22”, he states “[vertigo] has been for me since I first started thinking about working on it, years ago. It has been a catalyst of change in so many ways for me, and it’s taught me so much more about myself than I ever thought it would. I made vertigo by myself, for myself, but it’s finished now. So maybe it could be for you.”
Supporting the album, the Vertigo World Tour encompassed North America, Europe and Oceania, beginning in March 2018 and concluding in November 2018. While on tour, Ng also released “about time”, “stutter”, “nowhere else” and “all you need is love”.
On 14 February 2020, Ng released his second album no future, again released under the MCMXCV label and distributed by Astralwerks. The album was intended to be followed by the No Future Tour across North America and Europe, but was cancelled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
His third and most recent full-length album, ICYMI (In Case You Missed It), was released on 9 September 2022, following December 2021’s End Credits Anniversary Tour.
