My life has been priming me for something bigger than myself, and this is that moment, Edwards said, without mentioning Learmonth.
Edwards’ addition is a significant chapter in the band’s celebrated history.
Prime Circle, which formed in 2001, has amassed a cult following both domestically and internationally due to their unique approach to the rock genre.
The band has received numerous awards, released six studio albums that have gone multi-platinum, and has several chart-topping singles and sold-out tours to its credit.
Introducing Gavin Edwards as our new singer is a true source of excitement for all of us, said bassist and founding member Marco Gomes.
Bringing Experience To Prime Circle.
Edwards has nearly 30 years of experience as a singer and songwriter. He was previously signed to former Westlife member Brian McFadden’s record label and finished second to Richard Stirton in the inaugural season of The Voice SA in 2016.
“Gavin is not only an outstanding musician but also a wonderful person, quickly becoming an integral part of the Prime Circle family,” went on to say.
Fans have grown accustomed to Learmonth’s distinct voice, so Edwards will face a difficult task in replacing him.
It has been an incredible time with Prime Circle, and I am so grateful for the memories we’ve made together. However, at this point in my life, it’s time for me to move on, Learmonth explained, confirming his departure.
All relationships change and evolve, and unfortunately due to creative differences Prime Circle and I will no longer be continuing this musical journey together.
