Tejano music legend Jimmy Edward began performing live at a very young age in San Antonio, TX, while participating in different traditional Mexican music outfits. The opportunity to become a professional came when he joined Sunny & the Sunliners, teaming up with Rudy Guerra in the successful group Latin Breed soon after. Captivated by Latin contemporary Christian music, Edward released a Latin gospel album, Cristianos (Christians), in April 1996. Edward released two more full-lengths, Tejano All Stars and My Special Album, over the course of the next few years.
