Rodolfo Edén Muñoz Cantú,[1] better known as Edén Muñoz (pronounced as /es/)(born September 25, 1990), is a Mexican singer, songwriter and producer of regional Mexican music.

Biography

Muñoz is the youngest of four siblings born to Rodolfo Muñoz and Isidora Cantú. As a young child, Muñoz and his family moved from Los Mochis, Sinaloa to Mazatlán.

Edén's older brother Daniel gave him guitar lessons when Edén was eight and he quickly learned how to play it.[2]

After several years of playing music in family gatherings, local bands, festivals, and restaurants, in 2006 Muñoz was given the opportunity to formally join a professional band. He became a vocalist and guitarist for the band Colmillo Norteño,[3] which after ten years of being founded and playing traditional Norteño music, they changed their style to what is now known as Norteño-Banda, a combination between Norteño and Banda music. While in the band, Muñoz learned to play the diatonic button accordion and became the band's lead vocalist. He also wrote some songs for the band.

In early 2010, due to differences with the other members of the band, Muñoz left Colmillo Norteño and formed his own group with the same Norteño-Banda concept and was called Puro Colmillo Norteño. To avoid legal conflicts, the new band's name was changed to Calibre 50.

Between 2010 and 2022, Muñoz was the leader, main songwriter, main producer, vocalist, and accordionist for Calibre 50. With the band, Muñoz managed to obtain the record for the most songs that would reach No. 1 for a Regional Mexican band or solo artist on Billboard.

Muñoz has also been a songwriter of several hits for other Regional Mexican acts.

In early 2022, Muñoz left Calibre 50 to pursue a solo career.[4]
