Edgar Kruize is a freelance author, journalist, and content creator based in the Netherlands. He is the co-owner of the communications agency buro33. He is specialized in music in general and specifically the entertainment industry. Kruize has been working for various (trade) magazines, concert and tour promoters, festival organizers, and record companies for almost three decades. He has written nine books on various musical subjects.
All it took was a cough in the “Raspberry Beret” video to have the young Edgar notice the artist he’d later found out to be Prince. Ever since, Prince’s impressive body of work has been an inspiration in life and work. Kruize is the author of the books, Prince: The Dutch Experience (2017) and Prince: The Ultimate Dutch Experience (planned for 2026). Also, he wrote the liner notes for the 2019 Sign “O” The Times Deluxe DVD/Blu-ray set (along with appearing in the accompanying documentary), and (co)hosted multiple Prince-themed lectures, theater shows, and live interviews.
