Eric’s music is a mosaic of a myriad of influences and is extremely unique, captivating and incredibly empowering. The first thing you will notice is not all the songs sound the same. Would you eat the same food everyday?
Like great food or wine Eric’s music is for the sophisticated ear and is based on years of studying the music produced by the greatest musical minds ever. Average and ordinary people listen to average and ordinary music. High achievers listen to music produced by the greatest musical minds EVER, and thereby develop a more dynamic and great mind themselves. Which do you want to be? Want to go nowhere in life?-then listen to negatively charged go nowhere depressing music played by people who cannot even play their instruments. Want to be more successful?-then listen to something with the right oomph.
Eric’s music combines the tribal grooves of South America and African music with the sophisticated rhythms and harmony of Jazz.Combined with the melodic power and passion of Classical music and the attitude of Rock and Roll to create a sensational experience. The lyrics are thought provoking and clever with a message that challenges the listener to “wake up” and take a deeper look at the world around them.
