Quito & the Edge are the heart & soul of the BVI. This unique corner of the Caribbean has all the warmth of a tropical paradise, and as home to all 8 band members it's no surprise that the message of this rich lush sound is upbeat.
Quito's musical style is so much larger than his homeland though as it encompasses his life experiences and more, into a true form of musical empowerment and expression. As band leader and founder "Quito" has kept his band musically polished, defined and redefined for over fifteen years. Quito is often classed with the likes of “Bob Marley and the Wailers" offering a unique sound though, all of his own.

Growing up music was a way of life and expression for Mr. Rymer. In fact music was the one way he would be able to let his voice be heard! It was used for communicating feelings to a female or translating his understanding of the current world situation or simply to reflect what was happening in and around his own local community.
Throughout his early musical career Quito was privileged to have and obtain access to the immensely well rounded musicians that his island (Tortola) had to offer which he extravagantly used to his advantage and molded a particular sound now known as the "The Edge", a sound that has morphed itself into a complete band.

Hailed as one of the hardest working bands in the region, the EDGE combines soulful reggae melodies with hard hitting dance grooves to produce the unique sound of the EDGE! With over 40 original tunes ranging from sweet island blues, to lover’s rock, to Bob Marley type reggaes, to ska, the EDGE delivers what you want and need for your musical soul.

Quito performs with or without his band on various occasions proving his versatility as an artist with the true essence of talent and musical ability, none of which I can assure degrades the other. Acoustic performances are his favorite for this is reckoning time with the man himself unplugged. It always offers him a chance to connect with most intimate side of his vocal performances that tell the story of an artist who is in love with his responsibility as a recording artist.

Today Quito has finally molded his complete and wholesome reggae sound and tours the continent with the Edge spreading peace and one love. As lead singer and lead guitarist he leads his band into conscious, educating but highly entertaining musical performances and entertainment.

With the 2008 release of his cd entitled “Cool Water,” Quito has transformed his sound into the mainstream with the hopes of attracting a new broader fan base and impressing upon his faithful followings.
