Edlen studied art from an early age at the Brentwood Art Center. He later received his bachelor's degree from UCLA. Combining his education with his love of music, he came up with Vinyl Art, hand-painted portraiture on vinyl records.

His artwork continues to be solicited by large corporations that cater to the music industry and its audience. Read Less
