Artist History
Born 09.07.1975 in Mailand.
At age fourteen Erik began to play music. He learnt his first couple of chords on a guitar he found "somewhere in the house".
Erik quickly developed a passion for music and began to write the songs for his school band. With these songs the band made it into the semi-finals of the EMERGENZA International Band Competition.
He found his own style that married the aggression of grunge with the soft poetry of folk. Erik began to perform his music on the streets and in clubs.
He played as Special Guest for Naked Raven (Australian Folkband from Adelaide). After this he played with the Mama’s and Papa’s and the Rocky Horror Show at their 25th Anniversary in Milan. In the same year Erik also played with Andrea Braido, one of the most well-known and influential guitarists in Italy.
Erik appears on the Raz O’Hara CD "The Last Legend" (released on the Kitty-Yo Label) as Co-Author and guitarist of the song "Me or You".
Erik appears regularly in Berlin clubs as one of the city’s best-known performers. At present his music features in the Top10 of MP3.COM’s Alternative German charts and in the European Alternative Top 100.
His progressive performance style and dominating voice make him stand out from others in the category. His emotional/critical lyrics encompass every area of the songwriting spectrum.
He is presently performing in Berlin with bass player YOSHUN deNADA and violinist SLIM TAYLOR
