Known for creating some of the most recognizable themes in film—including Gettysburg, The Last of the Mohicans, My Cousin Vinny, and The Mask—Edelman reflects on the remarkable journey behind his music and the stories that shaped his career. The conversation begins with his latest creative chapter, including his new album Waltzing On A High Wire and the single “21 Again,” which reveals a more personal side of his songwriting. From performing with major rock acts early in his career to composing music for the Olympics and Hollywood’s biggest films, Edelman shares the experiences, influences, and philosophy that continue to drive his work today.
