A music career that spans over a decade, from rapping on the mic at an Audio Adrenaline concert in Hawaii at the Waikiki Shell when called up on the stage to sing along to their music, to a Youth With A Mission School in Australia where he performed a freestyle rap to the beat of someone tapping pencils on a plastic chair for a talent show to performing the song Fame at the Blaisedell during the Hottest Import Model Night… from making an album in Hawaii to performances at churches across the island, open mics in California to Georgia, to Virginia, and to Florida for the Christ for all Nations Evangelism School, to Atlanta where he met DJ Redhot who then traveled with Eric to Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and New Jersey, then to Israel for a year of doing music, when Eric came back he moved to North Shore near Turtle Bay, when his grandmother passed away he moved to California and frequented Hollywood and Las Vegas, after coming back to Hawaii his family sent in an audition video and got on Family Feud and won all 5 Episodes and the Grand Prize, then to Japan and to Maui, and all the way down to the depths of the Oahu Community Correctional Center… to Magic Island to get married, to Tracks Beach to perform apart of the band Highway to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. Eric performs with the band every Saturday at Tracks Beach now. This journey has taken him from the stages of Hawaii to international adventures, ultimately guided by faith. Only time will unveil the harmonious chapters that lie ahead in this extraordinary story.
