About me . . .
Hello, my name
is pronounced Eduee(d)ge with the d of dg silent
Though I
was born in Paris I have never felt that I belong to any particular
country, culture, religion
or philosophy. I have always felt more like a visitor
here on Earth, nourishing
myself from the various cultures which I encountered,
and helping people whom I met
along the way.
I first
came to England when I was 7 years of age and became instantly an
Anglophile. After
many visits I decided to make London my (Earthly impermanent) home and I am
now fully British.
I must
have sang before I spoke, and then wrote my own music to be true to myself.
My lyrics reflect
what I live and believe. I had almost finished the first year at the
university of mathematics,
when I decided to follow my yearning for performing,
and to continue writing songs.
I have performed in clubs
both in London and New York.
I am also the winner of
the best performance (best actor) award in a short film or documentary at
the 2006 Cannes' raw art Festival for the film "a day with Edwige "by
Aurelie Millet
I enjoy
every note I sing and I am very grateful to God for my being blessed with
this special
gift.
But my songs are a better reflection of myself
and my gratitude to Christ than any explanation,
so
I hope you'll enjoy listening to my music as much as I enjoy singing it.
about my faith
Since I
was 5 years old I had a different awareness from people around me and all I
wanted was the truth. I realized that neither those close to me , the school,
the state nor the society could and would provide it. So I l distanced myself
from what couldn’t lead me to it left all and started my search ..However I
hadn’t any clue on in what shape it would come.
I didn’t
believe in God or denied Him as denying something is already recognizing its
existence .Furthermore the fewreligions I knew wouldn’t reflect the truth ;being
brought up in France I saw Catholicism as evil, Judaism as a corpse ,and
Islam as a repressive political system. Though I found in each of them some
beautiful truths, none were able to satiate my quest .I enjoyed the lyricism and
poetry of Sufism but neither Hinduism or Buddhism or any philosophy sounded
complete.
I couldn’t fall into the trap of equating traditions and
rituals with faith as most do and I lived longing with understanding theroot
of life .At at some point realized that it couldn’t come from my human nature
.At that moment a friend told me about God and though it was associated with
some Eastern custom , the concept of a divine being became a reality .I
meander spiritually living with God but still not able to define Him .And this
until I was given a book .the most beautiful bookI ever read. It was more that
just written pages , it was the key that opened the gate of spiritual
understanding.The book was “The desire of ages” by Ellen G White.It covers the
part of the Bible when Jesus came on earth .It is not only a historical account
but also a revelation of the mind of God, His plan and the only way one
couldchange oneself the only hope for a man /woman of salvation.The process of
learning started then and I studied the Scriptures and realized that most
people in this world ,including Christians ,believed false
doctrines or pure fantasy.
The Bible unfolded its truths in the measure I was able to
receive them ,progressively ,and the prophecies it contained for 6000 years led to the present
time!
I could follow with history books the events prophesized
and their completion and understand the link and reason between them all .
I am still learning and it puts me at odds with many who
claim to being with God especially
Christians but are blind to the truth.
We are living such important times and the Bible is very
clear about now being the time of the end so present truth is paramount:
Christ asserted that He will come back. All the prophecies
from Old and New Testaments point to that event .
Of the ten virgins five are wise and five are foolish. Christ gave us all the
signs for us to recognise where we stand and follow His path .
Praise the Lord that we can choose to be among the wise ones !
I
feel very privileged and hope that every one alive now can also open to the
wonderful ,enlightening, healing truth of our saviour, redeemer
Lord .
He gave me the talent of music and I feel blessed singing
every day.
.
Edwige.
