WMGW, Inc. is proud to partner with Dyme LTD and Jett Edwards on this music release, songs from which are available on iTunes, Amazon, Napster, and eMusic. Mr. Edwards, a bass player, vocalist, producer, CEO, and Americana / funk music pioneer, has worked with classic and contemporary artists including James Brown, the Isley Brothers, Edgar Winter, Stevie Wonder, General Public, and Snoop Dogg.
In addition to the recent single release, Mr. Edwards also wrote and produced four songs for the African Mission 2008 and UNICEF that were performed in a live spectacular in Yokohama, Japan. The live CD and DVD recordings of this event are also now available from iTunes, eMusic, and at Starbucks locations in Japan.

Now residing in Tokyo, Mr. Edwards was born and raised in North Carolina, the son of renowned gospel singer Hiawatha Edwards.

Edwards also stormed the Gospel & Country music scene, where he won a Grammy with the legendary Blind Boys of Mississippi. He was one of the first black artists to perform at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry.
