Having been compared to the broad spectrum of the artists Jewel, Susan Tedeschi and Heart, Erisa Rei has a voice that is both unique and intriguing. Her music is powerful and moving, while the lyrics are thought-provoking and real. She has performed in many types of venues from the intimate setting of coffeehouses to the broad audiences of festivals, such as Cornerstone and Faithfest. 
Erisa Rei's style is what she likes to call "Rockin' Folky Blues", but to be more specific her music mostly falls into the blues/rock category. The Backwards EP really brings her strong voice to the forefront. Definitely unique in style, the EP is sure to please the listener. 
Erisa Rei's mission is to put to song things that she thinks are relevant not only in her own life, but also in the world. She wants people to listen to her music and not only think that it sounds "nice", but also that they would be impacted and moved by what she has to say. That's where the message comes in- it is centered around that mission. She hopes that people will be moved to make a difference around them and rely on Jesus Christ to give them strength and vision without shoving the Gospel down their throat. She prefers to try to live it.
