My name is Eric, musician, was born May 10th 1972,and the rest, as they say,is history. Hope you enjoy.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

As of now? No. Would I like to again?,Sure,I miss it. Playing out and doing shows is one of the greatest things in the world!

Your musical influences

For me, anything really can be considered an influence as well as an inspiration.I think the top few who has had the biggest impact on me as a musician has to be Steve Vai,Randy Rhoads,Triumph,Dokken and Dream Theater. As much as I'm inspired by other musicians, I'm equally influenced by visual artists such as Salvadore Dali, Monet, H.B. and William Webb. My inspirations come also from not only other guitarists but bassists, drummers and certain vocalists such as John Arch, and not to mention keyboardists as well. I thank God for the gift of music, and as long as we're all able to create,does it really matter where the inspiration comes from? Just so long as it keeps coming,we're good.

What equipment do you use?

Ibanez guitars.                                                                                       Marshall Amps.
Korg keys and soft synths.                                                     Morley,Digitech,Boss pedels.
