Despite being signed by a major label at 19 years old with his former artist project Ted Zed and achieving critical acclaim from The Guardian as well as being named by BBC's Zane Lowe as his "next hype", Ted just didn't feel creatively fulfilled. He left his label to both discover himself, and hone his skills as a producer and songwriter. The result is his work as a songwriter, composer and producer for audio-audiovisual projects but also his independent artist project Edward Knocks. It's genre-bending synth-pop with catchy hooks expressing his original perspective on 21st-century youth."The Edward Knocks project is a celebration of all the things I love about making music and the things that fascinate me about being human."

"Knocks showcases his mastery of songwriting with swooning lyricism playfully moving about the mix, and once combined with the harmonies shifts into third gear with a mesmerising performance overall." (Acid Stag review of 'Time Machines')
