Since the 1970's, this gifted performer has released several albums on which he wrote and performed every note of the music, in addition to recording it in his own studio manufacturing it in his own factory and issuing it on his own record label. In fact, Grant is said to be the only major artist who over a forty year plus career owns every recording and song he ever created. The totally personalised music Grant made was a deft blend of pop songwriting, dance rhythms, reggae and colourful international elements, making him an international solo hit-maker during the 1970's right into the twenty-first century.
Now at the ripe young age of sixty, Eddy is preparing to embark on an extensive World Tour set to begin in 2008 through 2010. Recognising the realities of such an undertaking in the current music business environment, Grant has entered into an exclusive license arrangement with Universal Music for the worldwide distribution of his comprehensive catalogue of Eddy Grant recordings to enable his fans to access all of his currently available recorded works while being able to see him LIVE ON STAGE. In line with his ever-present social consciousness and most recent CD title "Reparation", the planned World Tour will be branded "THE REPARATION WORLD TOUR" to help focus the world's attention on what Grant considers to be the most important unresolved major world issue.
