Eric is a producer in Nashville, TN for artists
across the US and the world, but it was songwriting and recording his own music
that started everything. Since elementary school, Eric has been writing songs,
pushing record, and listening back. Through the years, a keyboard-based, nu-jazz-pop
style has emerged and brought several releases.
In the late 90's, Eric released "It's So Cool", and later, a remixed version
called "Cooler". It was well received and garnered praise in Christian jazz
circles, as well as some Christian pop radio around the world. In 2000, Eric
released the seminal
"Stolen Moments", a relaxing set of music for those quiet, reflective times.
Five weeks at number one on the then popular MP3 Smooth Jazz chart helped the CD
get a jump start, and it's still popular and selling today.
Currently Eric is lead producer and president of Creative Soul Records just
outside Nashville, TN. Working as writer, arranger, producer, and label head
sometimes leaves little time for his own music.
But now with his new record label "Creative Soul Jazz" in the works, Eric is
banding with other Nashville jazz and session greats to produce a whole new
brand of music. The first new CD for EC is "On the Side", a mix of smooth jazz
with a smattering of vocals just for fun.
