Edwin`s first solo project was titled La Voz Del Pueblo. This production received many accolades from people and publications in the music industry, as well as three Independent Music Award nominations in 2018. His first single out of the 2019 Street Corner Chronicles production, released in April of this year "El Muro - The Wall" earned him a Global Music Award Bronze Medal. The following are excerpts from reviews of Edwin`s previous work in La Voz Del Pueblo:
"A sonero with flavour, swing and his very own style -
This is swinging salsa from NY, moving away from the jazzy/harder sound that has been coming out of the US, but maintaining sophistication and punch" - Latino Life Online Mag
"It does our hearts at NewGenSalsa good to know that our music is in good hands with artist such as Edwin Perez.
After listening to his great tone, his delivery and mastery of “El Soneo” it only leaves me with the thought that this young man is here to stay. I loved the arrangements with an emphasis on the bones (nothing but beef) and the cutting accents of those trumpets. Well done!" - NewGen Salsa`s Walter Baez
"On his debut as a soloist, sonero and songwriter Edwin Pérez (ex vocalist for La Excelencia y Orquesta Salsa con Conciencia) combines old school salsa with a social political touch, creating a sound that`s purely New York guapería. Just like Chamaco Ramírez, Mr. Pérez has planted his flag as one of the best releases of 2017. I know it`s early, but damn, this is fire!" - SalsaPower.com
"Esta apasionada producción consta con letras y arreglos inteligentes, además de emotivos soneos de parte de Pérez, a quien considero uno de los más grandes cantantes de salsa del presente siglo, y el cual espero algún día reciba el reconocimiento como tal. Éste es de verdad, señoras y señores. Hay que apoyarlo 150%. (EEG)" - HerenciaLatina.com
