| Born into a diverse family of creative artists, Erik started his professional career 10 years ago as a self-contained artist/producer on Sony's Columbia Records after being discovered by American Idol's Randy Jackson, then VP of Columbia Records. Randy quickly signed Erik to a multi-album solo artist deal. Prior to Jackson's introduction to Erik via a songwriting demo, he had only briefly been producing, writing and arranging for independent hip-hop and soul acts on the East Coast. However, after only two years of being immersed in the confinements of the world of corporate music, Erik felt his creativity could be better expressed elsewhere. He broke his contract with Sony, and headed back East and then to Europe in search of musical freedom. It wasn't long until Erik returned to California in pursuit of his musical career as an independent producer/artist where he was tapped to do his first major label production, coupled with various multimedia projects encompassing network and TV shows, feature films for the Showtime network, PBS as well as a two-year stint as sound designer for famed photographer David LaChapelle. Erik is currently working on several projects to be released on LifeNotes Music. Elliott Williams of projectVIBE.net: 'We can't mention dope music releases without including Erik Rico's Journey Back to Me into the conversation. Erik is one of those rare talents that remind us that true artistry, albeit mostly undiscovered, still exists in music. Journey Back To Me showcases his talents as a singer/songwriter/producer and is craftily layered with various styles from the smooth Stevie Wonder-inspired "Making Love" to the West London broken beat stylings of "Wonderful"...and he pulls it all together in a way that allows you to lose yourself and just enjoy the music. Now isn't that the way it's supposed to be? Journey Back to Me isn't just an album, it's an anthem!' Listen to podcasts featuring songs by Erik Rico--"Shine" (with Yam Who?) and "Forever" off of this album released by LifeNotes Music's Joel Matthew. |
