Piano with Eric C.

Eric was raised in the city of Philadelphia. It was at the age of 12, without prior instruction, that Eric began to play the piano and write songs.

In 2002, Eric enrolled in Millersville University of Pennsylvania as a music major with voice as his primary instrument. Eric quickly became the choral director for the university's Gospel Choir. This afforded him the opportunity to arrange a contemporary version of the school'™s Alma Mata which he still leads the choir in to this day. During college Eric also began conducting music workshops, and providing private vocal lessons.
