Edwin A. Smith, known as Fast Eddie, is an American house producer and hip hop musician from Chicago, Illinois.
[1] Fast Eddie began as a DJ of the early Chicago house movement, including playing spots on WGCI-FM and WBMX.
During that period, he produced one of his first singles in collaboration with Kenny "Jammin'" Jason entitled "Can You Dance", circa 1986.
Eddie left WGCI for WBMX for a short time and then quit his radio DJ gigs to concentrate on producing.
He scored several hits on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Git On Up" (featuring Sundance), which spent a week at number one in 1989, but only reached number 49 in the UK Singles Chart.
