As a teenager, Eric joined a band and began touring Asia for 5 years. “Playing everywhere,” he says, “six nights a week, in Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, The Philippines – I really got my road legs through that.” These experiences were crucial to his development as a performer, musician, and most importantly, as a person.
Teaching himself audio engineering, and expanding his musical repertoire to include drums, guitar, bass, and keys, it wasn’t long before Eric developed his own unique blend of synth driven, electronic pop music infused with classic soul melodies.
Applying his sound to remixes for groups such as The XX, Passion Pit, and Owl City, Eric began getting notice from major music publications (including Rolling Stone.com) and landing #1 Most Downloaded Track on Hype Machine. Growing as an artist and producer, Eric began focusing more on his own career and soon found himself collaborating with world-renowned engineer Dave ‘Rave’ Ogilvie, on his 2010 EP Antarctica.
In 2011, Eric released 2 singles “ALL”, which went #19 on the Billboard Emerging Canadian Artist Chart, and “Addicted", which reached #18 on that same chart, cracked Top 40 at Radio, while it’s French version “Accro De Toi” burned up to #14 in Eric’s old hometown of Montreal.
Now in L.A, Eric has been writing and recording with top industry professionals such as Michelle Lewis, Heather Holly, Damon Elliot, Maria Christensen, Michael "Smidi" Smith and Rob Hoffman. He's looking to hone his distinct musical style and break new heights in the U.S.

Eric Solomon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
C'est le sentiment
Du commencement
Quand tu sais que tout est possible
Tu te sens vivant
Ton coeur bat si vite
Et plus rien ne te résiste
C'est comme un rollercoaster ride
Crie wooh oh wooh oh
Et ce feeling est si fort
Tu le sens son appel
Crie wooh oh tonight
Let's party like we won the lottery hey hey hey
Ce soir on fête comme si on avait tout
Like we won the lottery hey hey heyy yeah
Levons nos verres à la belle vie entre nous
On est tous un V.I.P
Rêve comme on vit
Ce soir enfin le monde est à nous
Like we won the lottery hey hey heyy yeah
The lottery, let's party like we won the lottery
On perd la tête ce soir
Chante à haute voix
Et le monde se crée sous nos pas
On peut tous y croire
Ferme les yeux tu vas voir
C'était toujours en toi
C'est comme un rollercoaster ride
Mets tes bras dans le ciel
