Aelph Edgewood is a singer-song writer/multi-media artist and producer, who enjoys making music and art that affects people at a deep soul level.
She was born in Kensington, London and moved to Africa at the age of six, finally returning to England at the age of seventeen. As a child she was trained in classical piano and singing, and took part in many musical plays as a child. She also learned to play guitar whilst at school. As a very young child she started playing by ear and was therefore encouraged to take it further by her mother, Vivienne. Aelph would credit her mother with being the person who inspired her to draw and paint, and was always an encouraging influence in getting Aelph to develop her talents.
Over the years Aelph has passionately enjoyed an enormous variety of music; The music she has made reflects these influences, such as rock, punk, ska, folk, reggae (especially dub), electronic, trance dance, drum and bass, idm, heavy metal, classical and space-rock and she is very fond of obscure and interesting independent artists and bands who are willing to take risks and experiment with their sounds.
In her mid-teens, she used to frequent a night club in Cape Town called "Scratch", named after the mad genius Lee Scratch Perry; it was a multi-racial club, which broke the law at the time by allowing people of all races to mix together, and was frequently harassed by the local police as a result. The club itself introduced Aelph to an incredible array of underground music from all over the world, and was a big part of her musical education.
Over the years Aelph has immersed herself into absorbing as much as she can about the secrets of life and death, studying and practising things such as magick, meditation, tarot, scrying, astrology, numerology, soul-diving, herbalism and aromatherapy, psychology, mythology and archetypal forces. She incorporates her understanding of everything she has learned into her songs, writing and artwork as her way of sharing what she has understood.
