Jonathon Ng (born 23 December 1995) is an Irish electronic music producer and singer-songwriter based in Dublin. He currently releases music under the alias EDEN, and formerly operated as The Eden Project. Ng's work as The Eden Project featured more conventional styles of electronic dance music such as dubstep and drum and bass, until he began venturing into a more indie pop-oriented style and changed his alias to EDEN in April 2015.
Ng released over 40 tracks as The Eden Project including 5 EP's, as well as several remixes. As EDEN, he launched his own record label, known as MCMXCV, and released his debut EP End Credits, whose tracks have amassed a total of more than 8 million plays on SoundCloud. He is also known for a number of collaborations with other artists and has been featured on various labels as a result.
His sophomore EP, I Think You Think Too Much of Me, was released in August 2016 and became his first charting EP, debuting at No. 43 on the Irish Albums Chart.
Born and raised in Dublin, Ng was trained with classical violin and music theory from the age of 7. He later taught himself the piano, guitar and drums, and began composing his own music.
Ng began independently releasing tracks as The Eden Project in 2013, achieving popularity through promotion networks. He released his first extended play I Am Spitfire. In 2014, he released his album Kairos, in which the tracks "Statues" and "Chasing Ghosts" saw him experimenting with a more subdued alternative style of music. In October, he released the Entrance EP, whose track "Circles" again featured an indie-oriented alternative style. It achieved major popularity for its deviation from his usual sound. In December, he was featured on the track "Scribble" by New York-based producer Puppet, which was released through Monstercat.
