Although his big dream was a career as a musician, after high school Edward Joseph Mahoney decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a police officer. However, his passion was still music and after a short time Mahoney left the New York police force and moved to California to try his luck as a rock singer. Mahoney changed his name to Eddie Money and took a big step towards his goal when he caught the eye of legendary promoter Bill Graham at one of his shows in 1976.
Graham became Money's mentor and manager, got him a record deal with Columbia Records and work began on Money's first album. He was joined by excellent musicians such as guitarist Jimmy Lyon, saxophonist Tom Scott (L.A. Express), pianist Alan Pasqua (Tony Williams Lifetime) as well as bassist Lonnie Turner and drummer Gary Mallaber from the Steve Miller Band. Barely a year later, the time had come: with his debut album 'Eddie Money' and the two hit singles 'Baby Hold On' and 'Two Tickets To Paradise', Money made his breakthrough in 1977 and laid the foundations for a successful career as a rock star.
