Eric Juman
Music has been my lifelong passion. I picked up the guitar at the age of 10, starting with simple chords and melodies. At 16, I composed my very first song, sparking a deeper love for creating music. As a proud Sabahan, I hope to see the music from our culture and community resonate beyond borders. My journey is about blending heartfelt lyrics, rich cultural elements, and universal emotions to share the beauty of Sabahan music with the world.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Sometimes. I played for special music in the church, in several dinner functions, and also in other special occasions. Among my special moments is during an annual dinner in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
Your musical influences
I would say Kadazandusun music inspires me a lot to compose songs. However, artists and bands such as Eric Clapton, Eagles, Cromok, MLTR, Green Day, and instrumental guitar songs have inspired me a lot in playing the guitar.

Anything else?
By uploading some of my arts, I just wish that there are listeners out there that appreciate my works. However, the songs I have uploaded are old ones recorded with old equipments (transferred into mp3). I hope I can upload my new songs soon which will be recorded with the equipments I stated above.
