By the age of 11, Eduardo Mosquera's favorite hobby was singing songs with his neighborhood friends with one goal in mind: to be the voice of romance. He began knocking on various radio stations' doors in his home country of Panama. Even though he couldn't count on the support of his parents, he had strong faith that someone would believe in his talent and give him the opportunity to reach his dream.
When DiBlasio, a well known Panamanian producer, took 15 year-old Eddy to visit a studio, he recorded his first single, "Lloro." It was the song that would transform him into "Eddy Lover" and set him on a course for musical success.
After many years of working his way up in the music industry with various producers, Lover finally managed to reach his primary goal in music. In 2006, he signed with Panama Music Corp., which allowed him to participate with various artists on a project called "La Conquista," which was a compilation of the best Panamanian reggaetón artists such as Aldo Ranks, La Factoria, Mach & Daddy, and Jr Ranks. Eddy Lover provided two songs that he composed with his characteristic romantic flair. It was his first recording as a solo artist for the Panama Music Corp label and Universal Music.
In 2006, he swept the airwaves with his song "Gitana" –a work on which he collaborated with Jr. Ranks. "Gitana" won the love and support of his Panamanian audiences and since then "The Romantic Voice of Eddy" has enchanted people of all ages with songs such as " Ya Tu No Vales La Pena," "Perdoname," and "No Debiste Volver."
In 2007, Lover grew to become a Panamian reggaetón icon and one of the most requested performers all over his country of Panama.
Most recently, Lover is living up to his promise in countries such as Peru, Chile, Nicaragua, and the United States. He is collaborateing with many artists in the reggaetón genre and because of his undeniable talent, he has occupied many positions on the Billboard charts in many countries, especially with the hit single "Perdoname." Eddy Lover promises to cross musical boundaries and to represent the best qualities of Panama.
