AE has been rapping since the age of 12. After his father Vernon Edwards heard AE and his friends free-styling in the back yard of his childhood home, his father and mother began investing in them. AE started out recording tracks on a karaoke machine and a key board from Willis Music and Radio Shack. From there AE went on to produce and engineer on the DR Grove, BR-8 track workstation and the DJX back in 2000. AE finished his first secular album at the age of 14 but did not release it to the public. Throughout AE’s childhood he grew up on Christian principals but did not attend a home church regularly. His parents taught him about God. AE also attended a Christian basketball camp for years called Athletes in Action as well as vacation bible studies at different churches. At the age of 16 at Mt Healthy High School AE had to drop out of Spanish class and was force to choose a new elective. At this time the public school was offering a bible literacy class which was not common for public school. AE decided to take the class. After taking the class AE started to attend a local church with his friends. The church was Impact Worship Center with Pastor Rodney Posey. AE found out after attending this church that Rodney was related to his step grandfather Rev. Mike Posey. While attending church AE wrestled with his faith and doing secular rap. At the age of 18, AE had his first child about 8 days after graduating from Mt Healthy High School and Diamond Oaks Vocational School. AE decided at the age of 19 to get married to his baby’s mother. After reaching the age of 20 AE decided to release his first secular project titled “Rainz of Life.” This was a full length secular album that AE produced, engineered, recorded, written and performed. AE got some good reviews from his peers. But AE still questioned rather this was the right path for him. After wrestling with his faith for years AE answered the call and got saved for the second time in 2007. During this period AE was having problems in his first marriage. Shortly after becoming saved another decision was reached to get a divorce from his ex-wife in 2007. AE continued on his journey with God. During the separation while awaiting the court date for the divorce, AE’s sister introduced him to her friend Deja. They began to date and became boyfriend/girlfriend when the divorce from his ex-wife was final in December of 2007. Anthony and Deja ended up getting married in July 2010 and are still married today.
