After graduating high school, Karu joined New York based popular merengue group, Oro Solido. During Karu's 5 year run with the band, he recorded and performed hits like, Las Mujeres, Las Locas, Me Tiene Amarrao, Pa Que Bebas, La Media Vuelta and Lo Que Me Gusta A Mi, to name a few.
His dream and desire was to start his own band. In 1997, he decided it was time to part ways from the group to pursue his dream. Splitting from Oro Solido to become Karu did not come without trials and tribulations. Karu followed his philosophy of life, Sometimes in life one is confronted with tough situations; it is all about how you react to it.
I chose to use it as guide to success. Karu's songwriting skill has garnered him several awards for songs such as, No Es Lo Mismo, Solo Mia, Meniando La Pera and Esta Pegao. Aside from being a solo artist, he has also written, produced, and co-written various projects including his own production of the up and coming album from Karu.
Other songwriting credits include written work for not just Karu, but also Fuera De Ley, Magic Juan, Colombo, Adelante, Lina Morelli, Oro Blanco and many more.
Having studied sound engineering at the institute of Audio Research in New York City landed him the opportunity to be an assistant engineer on En Vogue's Mucho Soul Radio Mix for the song Whatever written by Babyface and Franco Giuliano. Edwin has also worked as an assistant engineer for several songs for the highly acclaimed Merengue Hip Hop group Proyecto Uno's album titled "4".
As a singer Karu has served as background vocalist for: Sancocho, July July, Oro Solido, Cuerpo y Alma, Doble Filo, Oro Blanco, Deskkontrolados, Adelante (a band originated in Jamaica), Proyecto Uno, Magic Juan's solo albums and his own project Karu. His production skills are featured in the following albums and artists: Flia The Album, Magic Juan's "La Prueba" "Inevitable" and "The Sure Bet" Fuera De Ley, Adelante, Colombo, Zombra, Pablo Alejandro, Oro Blanco, Doble Filo, Deskkontrolados and Karu. Karu has shared the stage with high caliber artists such as Marc Anthony, Elvis Crespo, Fernando Villalona, DLG, Toño Rosario, Tito Rojas, Tito Nieves, Frankie Negron, and La Banda Gorda.
With great aspirations and a set goal, this talented ray of light is ready to shine as he presents his sensational and uplifting sounds of Karu!
