The next two years saw him venturing alone as a solo pianist at various hotel lobby lounges around Peninsular Malaysia. He then formed four-piece outfit, “Andromeda” which performed at local clubs and was soon discovered by the Jazz Fusion group “Sketsa”, which consisted of music greats Razak Rahman, Johari Teh, Wan Carefree and Daniel Soliano Guerzo and was invited to play piano and keyboards for them. After a two years stint with Sketsa, Eddie joined Singapore based show-band “Fredo & The Flinstones” who earned rave reviews wherever they performed.

During this time he had the opportunity to perform for a wide array of VVIP’s, VIP’s, heads of state, and local /foreign dignitaries, amongst others. It was also around this time that Eddie was introduced to Johari Salleh, the then Music Director and Conductor of the RTM Orchestra, and was given his first opportunity at doing studio sessions and worked on various projects under the valuable guidance of Johari.
At Booty Studios, he was assigned to manage the day-to-day operations, overseeing studio recordings and the administration department, which comprised one chief engineer, four assistant engineers and seven administration staff.
