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. In 1987, Eddie came out with other house tracks such as "The Whop", based on the dance of the same name. Eddie left WGCI for WBMX for a short time and then quit his radio DJ gigs to concentrate on producing. In 1988, he scored one of his biggest hits with "Acid Thunder" on DJ International Records. However, it was the track "Hip House" that established his career as a producer. Eddie popularized the genre of hip house. 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. Eddie tried his hand at gangsta rap in 1990 by forming the group America's Most Wanted. Later that year, he released "Make Some Noise". At some time during 1995, Eddie made two ghetto house collaborations. The first of these is titled "Booty Call" with DJ Sneak and the other is titled "Pump It" with DJ Funk.
