On 29th November Erik Rico lands at Substance as part of his European tour. Erik with perform live with full electronic set up plus live percussion.
Born into a family of creative artists, Erik began 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 V.P. of Columbia Records. Prior to Jackson's introduction to Erik, 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 corporate music, Erik felt his creativity could be better expressed elsewhere. He broke his contract with Sony, returned east and then to Europe in search of musical freedom.
Eventually, 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 and currently with Producit Inc. whose clients include: All major TV & Film networks, international advertising agencies, private events and celebrity clients such as Elton John, Gene Simmons, Mariah Carey and Jessica Alba
Erik Rico's independent debut release 'Journey Back To Me' stays true to the roots of soul music while mixing the future of electronica coupled with poignant lyrics to form a fresh and unique sound. His sophomore release ' A Higher Frequency' continues to blur the lines between synth-based electronica and traditional soul.
