I Mother Earth Edwin was the lead vocalist for I Mother Earth from 1990 to 1997. He performed on the band's first two albums, Dig and Scenery and Fish. He also performed on the majority of the songs on Victor, a 1996 side project with Alex Lifeson of Rush. He left IME in 1997. On March 1, 2016, it was announced on IME's website that the band would reunite with Edwin for a series of shows, performing the band's 1996 sophomore release Scenery and Fish in its entirety to celebrate its 20th Anniversary. As of 2022, Edwin is back as the lead singer for I Mother Earth as they are now reunited and touring together again. Solo career After leaving IME in late 1997, Edwin disappeared from the public eye. Under his low profile, Edwin met with members of the recently dissolved Glueleg, most notably Ruben Huizenga. He also met with Sony Music, who signed him in August 1998. That summer, Edwin reappeared as a surprise guest with The Tea Party at Edgefest '98 on July 1 in Barrie, Ontario. Edwin contributed lead vocals in their Canada Day rendition of David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans". Back in Toronto, Huizenga and company brought their instrumental talents to Edwin's debut solo album, as did several other session musicians (including IME percussionist Daniel Mansilla). Producer and ex-BTK member Matt DeMatteo did the bulk of the production (at times assisted by Huizenga) and also played instruments. Huizenga, DeMatteo, David Martin, and half a dozen other songwriters collaborated with Edwin, who claimed to have written 75% of the album. The end result was Another Spin Around the Sun, released in Spring 1999. Edwin performed in Toronto at the Warehouse in support of the album in October 2000. Edwin began writing and recording songs in a new genre - danceable, singalong pop-rock, complete with loops and samples and a greater emphasis on Edwin's vocals. Initial singles "Trippin'" and
