Erik's passion for singing started when he was still a kid in Malabon. Erik participated in numerous small-town singing competitions.
Erik became the wildcard entry to the Final 10 of Star in a Million. He had a good start in the contest but got eliminated during the third week of competitions, when it was still a part of the Sunday noontime variety show ASAP. Nevertheless, his second chance came and his rendition of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", won him the 10th and final slot for the semi-finals round. Eventually he became one of the three grand finalists in the showdown for the title of Star in a Million. "This is the Moment", a song from the musical Jekyll and Hyde, popularized by Martin Nievera, won him the title.
Now, with record-breaking chart-toppers from his Platinum debut album (his first single Pagbigyang Muli has stayed on the #1 spot of WRR's hit chart for more than 20 weeks, along with his other songs filling up the charts simultaneously), sold-out concerts and a demand for corporate shows, accolades from Awit Awards, Star Awards and Aliw Awards, endorsements for a bank (Bank of the Philippine Island's Express Remit), theme songs for radio stations, and even movies, Erik has earned mainstream popularity.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ibibigay lahat ng gusto mo
Araw-araw pasisikatin ang araw
Buwan-buwan pabibilugin ko ang buwan
Para sa'yo para sa'yo
Susungkitin mga bituin para lang makahiling
Na sana'y maging akin
Kung pwede lang kung kaya lang
Kung akin ang mundo
Ang lahat ng ito'y iaalay ko sa'yo
Kung ako ang hari ng puso
Lagi kitang pababantay kay kupido
Hindi na luluha ang 'yong mga mata
Mananatiling may ngiti sa 'yong labi
Para sa'yo para sa'yo
Susungkitin mga bituin para lang makahiling
Na sana'y maging akin
Puso mo at damdamin
Kung pwede lang kung kaya lang
Kung akin ang mundo
Ang lahat ng ito'y iaalay ko sa'yo
Susungkitin mga bituin para lang makahiling
Na sana'y maging akin
Puso mo at damdamin
Kung pwede lang kung kaya lang
Kung akin ang mundo
Ang lahat ng ito
Ang lahat ng ito
Ang lahat ng ito
Gagawin para sa'yo
