Edmonds went to Indiana University where he began to further expand his musical ambitions.

Taking I.U. Soul Revue, an extensive course in music theory, performing and the business, Edmonds began to see music as a real career. Pursuing this idea, he started the group After 7 with his brother Melvin Edmonds and his classmate, Keith Mitchell, who was the cousin of Antonio "L.A." Reid. The group did shows in local clubs, but upon graduation went on to standard 9-5 jobs.
