Eric is a self-taught musician and composer. He began playing music during his childhood in Watertown, NY, when his father bought him a guitar for his 12th birthday.

His first collection of instrumental work was for the dance show, "The Lonely," conceived and choreographed by Kate Blomquist, which premiered in Chicago in 2006.
