whathedgar

Edgar Torres aka whathedgar, hailing from the small town of Watsonville, California, near Santa Cruz, is a testament to the power of passion and self-discovery in music. Growing up in a family where Mexican music resonated through the walls, Edgar initially steered away from the genre. It wasn't until later, driven by curiosity and the resources at hand, that he embarked on a self-taught musical journey, learning guitar and bass through YouTube tutorials and sheer determination. Edgar's musical aspirations took flight upon witnessing the success of Eslabon Armado, who signed with DEL Records, igniting a belief in the possibilities within the music world at a young age. His musical taste, deeply rooted in Musica Mexican / Regional Mexican music since 2018, encompasses both popular and underground artists, many of whom have grown to be his peers and friends. This blend of influences has shaped Whathedgar into not just a musician, but a storyteller whose songs resonate with authenticity and emotional depth. Achieving significant milestones early in his career, including 100,000 streams on a single Spotify song and attaining 50,000 monthly listeners, Edgar's journey is marked by key moments that reflect his growing impact in the music industry. His songwriting process, often spontaneous and driven by bursts of inspiration, results in compositions that are both heartfelt and swiftly crafted, typically within 30 to 90 minutes.
