Bio

Born in Mission Viejo, California, Erik had already seen the country before the age of five; living for short periods of time in Kansas City, Kansas, Atlanta, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois, and Detroit, Michigan. Growing up, he became immersed in Motown, Soul and 60s rock, and soon after picking up his first guitar, what had began as a suggested hobby soon became an artistic obsession.
.
Sixteen years of callus shield his fingertips now, and after years of blistered hands, broken strings and battered guitars, his music has begun to reach an ever-growing audience to countries across the world.

About

Erik's songwriting is so intriguingly different than most. He often expresses a type of cynical optimism from his viewpoint; generally at the sour end of a relationship. From this mindset he creates wonderfully complex music and lyricism that belittles previous love interests, while somehow maintaining a romantic, mushy, make-out atmosphere. It becomes an auditory contradiction of emotion, illustrating the confusion we can all feel, that blends into something real and tangible. It begs the listener to linger in the melody and places them in a perspective as only he can tell.
