Band/artist history
Eric M. Pazdziora, b. 1981, expressed an interest in music at an early age, starting piano lessons at age six with Mrs. Melanie Rost. His career as a composer was launched when at age eight he wrote a musical that was performed by his third grade class in Crystal Lake, IL. Later, as a pianist at various churches in southern Wisconsin, Eric improvised arrangements of hymns and composed new worship songs, notably a full-length Christmas production that was performed by the youth at the Community Church of Elkhorn. He recently ministered as worship leader at Lake Shore Baptist Church, and currently serves at Holy Trinity Church. Eric is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, with a Bachelor's degree in Music Composition. His primary composition teacher was Dr. Edwin T. Childs. Orchestras, instrumental ensembles, church choirs, and soloists have performed Eric's compositions. His recent commissions include choral works, instrumental pieces, art songs, film scores, and incidental music for drama. Currently, he lives in Chicago, Illinois with his wife Carrie.
