Trunk began his career in 1983 and has built a reputation for being one of the most respected personalities in the world of rock, hard rock and heavy metal. Eddie has spent time as a record executive and has also worked in artist management, but has really found his calling as a broadcaster, host and interviewer on radio and TV.

Eddie began his broadcasting career in 1983 after convincing the execs at his favorite local radio station, WDHA in New Jersey, to allow him to produce a hard rock/heavy metal specialty show, one of the first of its kind. Eddie also hosts a live music, talk and interview show on SiriusXM satellite radio. The show has become appointment listening throughout America and Canada due to its in-depth interviews, commentary and wide-ranging guests and audience calls.

In 2002 Eddie took the leap into television after being hired as a host on VH1's sister station VH1 Classic, where Eddie was regularly seen hosting the interview series "Hanging With", as well as appearing on many of the station's other segments and specials. From 2008 to 2015, he was host and co-producer of the hit series "That Metal Show", the longest-running program in the station's history. "That Metal Show" was seen around the world and was a favorite destination for many rock/heavy metal fans and artists. Over more than 120 episodes, the show featured the biggest names in all genres of rock music. VH1 Classic was terminated as a channel in August of 2016, ending the program with the end of the network.

Eddie is armed with a true passion for the music he so feverishly champions. A true scholar of the genre, his encyclopedic knowledge of both its history and its current events has led him to be widely regarded as one of its foremost authorities by fans and artists alike. Consequently, it made perfect sense that Eddie would eventually turn his attention to writing. In 2010, Eddie added "author" to his list of media credits and released his first book "Eddie Trunk's Essential Hard Rock & Heavy Metal". The book was very well received by critics and fans alike. In 2013 the sequel, "Eddie Trunk's Essential Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Vol. 2", was released to equally strong sales and response. Both books were released by Abrams Publishing.

In 2016 Eddie was named host of the AXS TV series "Real To Reel", which spotlights music documentaries of all genres.

In July 2018, AXS TV debuted "TrunkFest" hosted by Trunk. In this TV series Eddie takes viewers on a tour of experiences at music festivals around the world. The program airs various times and days on AXS or on their site. Eddie also has appears and consults on various music based documentaries, most recently the Ronnie James Dio documentary which he appears in, and several shows for Reelz, Paramount+ and more channels related to music.

Eddie hosts countless rock shows, cruises and festivals on a regular basis. He also regular appears on the road performing live speaking shows. In 2023 Eddie reunited with his former "That Metal Show" hosts Don Jamieson and Jim Florentine for a new YouTube rock talk/interview show called "That Rocks!"
