What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘The realest human I met in the music industry, because he never sugar coats nothing, he just speaks truth.’
‘A sharp-eyed look into the global 21st-century music industry from someone who not only lived it, but actively managed the madness. In a land where the car reigns supreme, The Edge never forgets the hidden wilds of Los Angeles.’
* Ryan Gattis, author of All Involved *‘The realest human I met in the music industry, because he never sugar coats nothing, he just speaks truth.’
* Wiley *‘Jamie Collinson’s gimlet eye is keen and unrelenting. The Edge is a scathing portrait of the music industry, and a love letter to Los Angeles – but most of all it’s a meditation on growing up and letting go. Modern and mordant.’
* Janelle Brown, author of Watch Me Disappear *‘Insightful and true, The Edge is the real deal.’
