Born and raised in Southern California, Eriq’s musical journey has been anything but ordinary.
What began in Florida soon stretched across Europe and Africa, where he immersed himself in a wide range of sounds, rhythms, and cultures. Now back in Los Angeles, he blends these global influences into a genre-fluid style that defies boundaries and speaks directly to the soul.
For Eriq, music is more than sound – it’s a deeply personal form of expression, meant to connect authentically with listeners everywhere. His mission remains simple yet powerful: to create, to share, and to inspire through the pure energy of music.
Shaped by California’s vibrant music scene, Eriq grew up surrounded by the energy of West Coast culture – from the laid-back grooves of beachside jams to the raw edge of underground venues in Los Angeles. Those early roots instilled in him a deep appreciation for diversity in sound and style, laying the foundation for the eclectic, boundary-pushing music he creates today.
