When The Edge  was one-year old he and his parents Gwenda and Garvin and his siblings Dick and Gill moved to Dublin.

At High School he discovered Larry´s notice and received after reception into the band the nickname "The Edge". Bono coined it in reference to the shape of his head being "sharp" like his mind, and Bono also refers to him as "The Edge" because Edge often thinks on the outer edges of things.

Although he plays the lead guitar in the band, that constitute the unmistakeable U2 sound, Edge has still other qualities. Some of U2´s lyrics came from his feather and he proved in songs like "Van Dieman´s Land", "Seconds", "Numb" and not to forget in many Popmart-Karaoke-songs that he can sing.
