Early Career
Xol headed south to Latin America, where he fulfilled his desire of working in music and television in the Spanish-speaking market under the stage name of “Edi Xol”. He starred in several worldwide-syndicated telenovelas including “Acapulco Cuerpo y Alma”, “Sentimientos Ajenos" and "La Jaula de Oro" while producing music and videos.
His production company partnered with BMG U.S. Latin to produce his first solo album, “La Pasión”, for which he was nominated for a Premio Lo Nuestro's Artist of the Year, alongside Gloria Estefan and Ricky Martin. His representation of the United States at the International Music Festival at Viña Del Mar, Chile brought his appeal to a worldwide audience. Soon, Elle (magazine), Harper's Bazaar and Somos magazines featured the charming and down to earth Eduardo as one of Latin America's most eligible and gorgeous bachelors.
In 1998, Xol decided to make the United States his home base once again as he transferred his experience in musical composition and entertainment production into the world of lifestyle and design. He began spending important time with his father as he learned the art of caring for bonsai trees. It was this return to plants that solidified his design aesthetic and life philosophy.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:
“We have been told over and over about the importance of bonding to our children. Rarely do we hear about the skill of letting go, or, as one parent said, “that we raise our children to leave us.” Early childhood, as our kids gain skills and eagerly want some distance from us, is a time to build a kind of adult-child balance which permits both of us room.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion (20th century)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
