Ed, of Polish descent, has a younger brother, Adam, who is also a musician and used to perform as an opening act for Ed and Live with his band Portion. Ed attended William Penn Senior High School, where he met his future bandmates – Chad Taylor, Patrick Dahlheimer, and Chad Gracey, with whom he would later form the band Live. After several name changes, the group settled for Public Affection, under which they recorded a demo tape called “The Death of a Dictionary”. Their EP “Divided Mind, Divided Planet” (1990), produced by Jay Healy, further raised their profile. The band gained traction through regular performances at CBGB in New York City and eventually signed a recording contract with Radioactive Records.

The release of their first album for Radioactive Records, titled “Mental Jewelry” in 1991, achieved platinum status in the USA, contributing to Ed’s increasing net worth and providing further motivation to continue creating music.

The pinnacle of their career with Live came with the release of “Throwing Copper” in 1994, which topped the charts in several countries, including the US and Australia, and earned eight times platinum status in the USA, Australia, and seven times platinum in Canada. Subsequent albums such as “Secret Samadhi” (1997) and “The Distance to Here” (1999) also performed well, further enriching Ed.

After departing Live, Ed pursued a solo career, producing two studio albums: “Alive” (2010) and “The Flood and The Mercy” (2012), along with an EP “The Garden” in 2012, all of which contributed to his wealth.
Recently, Ed reunited with Live in late 2016, and the group is currently on tour.

In his personal life, Ed has been married to Erin Broderick since 1997, and the couple has four children.
