His parents came to Israel from Chicago after long wanderings. They belong to the Black Hebrew Israelite community.
Eddie started performing at the age of 8. In the 90's he sang with wedding bands, and in 1992 worked as a backing singer for Zehava Ben at the Kdam-Eurovision.
In 1999 Eddie represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in Jerusalem as part of the Eden group which consisted of Eddie, Eddie's older brother Gabriel Butler, Rafael Dahan and Doron Oren. Their song Happy Birthday finished 5th with 93 points.
Eden broke up in 2001, and after the group's breakup, Butler launched a solo career. He has performed throughout Europe, Russia and the United States. In 2002 he got the Special Audience Prize of the international music competition New Wave in Jurmala, Latvia.
