Eddie Burns is a Chicago native and the son of classical trumpet player Stephen Burns, who founded the Fulcrum Point New Music Project.

Growing up in a musical family, Burns was reportedly inspired to learn the drums when he was just six years old – and has never looked back. He gradually found his way to playing drums for the R&B band The O’My’s and, through their management, started playing for American indie darling Clairo, who is known for her viral tracks like “Sofia” and “Flaming Hot Cheetos”.
