If you’re on this site then you probably know me as E-Drid... My real name is Erik Madrid. Now you know where I came up with E-Drid. Nice frickin’ work :)

I’ve done and seen some crazy ass shit in my first 26 years parading around the NorthWest. I've been flown to do shows in the most extreme of places (Anchorage, AK and Cozumel Mexico). I've taken the shit on the hood of a girls car. I've beer bonged a Mad Dog 20/20. Radio stations (plural) have sent me plaques for having their number one requested song for the entire year. I know of one person who can shotgun a beer as fast as I can, but nobody faster. I own a radio station (RealRadio101.com). Sometimes my friends and I send each other pictures of our bowel movements. Normal. I've recorded over 100 songs, all of which you can download for free. I've seen most of the U.S. and none of the world other than Tourist Mexico and the extent of what Canada (eh) has to offer. People find it weird how long i've been friends with my closest friends - and how many of them I still see regularly. I'm still immature enough to, at age 26 and with a College degree, urinate off of a pedestrian overpass onto the Las Vegas strip - and be proud of that. I'm overly loyal to my Seattle sports teams that are more likely to skip town than win it all. And I'll give them the benefit of the doubt every year before each season starts.

Long story short, I just do me. Live my life and then put my life into music.

And I love making music - but the hip-hop created on a national level is increasingly uninspiring, and the town I make this music in lacks it's own sound. Still, I'll never stop. I daydream about hitting the road with nothing but my music, a video camera, and a laptop and blogging my way to becoming a famous musician by showing my music to the World and documenting it all - one small city at a time. Hmmm.

I'll leave me at that. One love. Live Life Tru Indeed... Drid!
