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.
Kung Maaalala Mo

Di ba't yan ang sumpaan
Ikaw pa lang ang minahal ko nang lubusan
Iniibig kita ng higit sa buhay ko
Tanging sa'yo lang nagkakulay ang mundo
Bakit nagbago ako'y iniwan mo
Kung maaalala mo
Di pa rin nagbabago
Kung maaalala mo
Mga pangako ko sa'yo
Ay di pa rin nababago
Kung sakaling magbago
Ang isip mo
Ako ay balikan
Naghihintay pa rin
Na maalala mo
May nagawa ba ako
Upang magbago ang damdamin
Sabihin mo ang lahat ng pagkukulang ko
Sa'yo lang mabubuhay
Ang puso't isip ko
Ibibigay ko ang lahat
Mahalin mo lang muli
Di ko kayang mawala ka
Pagsamo ko'y iyong dinggin
Kung maaalala mo
Nandito lang ako
Di pa rin nagbabago
Kung maaalala mo
Mga pangako ko sa'yo
Ay di pa rin nababago
Kung sakaling magbago
Ang isip mo
Ako ay balikan
Naghihintay pa rin
Sa'yo
Sana'y may pag-asa pang baguhin ang nakaraan
Pag-ibig na walang hanggan sa'yo ko lang ibibigay
Ako'y maghihintay (kung maaalala mo nandito lang ako)
Nandito lang ako (di pa rin nagbabago)
Kung maaalala mo (mga pangako ko sa'yo)
Wooh (ay di pa rin nababago)
Kung sakaling magbago
Ang isip mo
Ako ay balikan
Naghihintay pa rin
Na maalala mo oh
Kung maalala mo

Walang hanggan
Forever
Di ba't yan ang sumpaan
Isn't that what we promised
Ikaw pa lang ang minahal ko nang lubusan
You're the only one I've loved completely
Iniibig kita ng higit sa buhay ko
I love you more than my own life
Tanging sa'yo lang nagkakulay ang mundo
Only with you, the world becomes colorful
Bakit nagbago ako'y iniwan mo
Why did you leave when I changed
Kung maaalala mo
If you remember
Nandito lang ako
I'm right here
Di pa rin nagbabago
I haven't changed
Kung maaalala mo
If you remember
Mga pangako ko sa'yo
My promises to you
Ay di pa rin nababago
Are still the same
Kung sakaling magbago
If ever you change
Ang isip mo
Your mind
Ako ay balikan
Come back to me

Have I done something
Upang magbago ang damdamin
To change your feelings
Sabihin mo ang lahat ng pagkukulang ko
Tell me all of my shortcomings
Sa'yo lang mabubuhay
I'll live for you only
Ang puso't isip ko
My heart and mind
Ibibigay ko ang lahat
I'll give everything
Mahalin mo lang muli
Just love me again
Di ko kayang mawala ka
I can't bear losing you
Pagsamo ko'y iyong dinggin
Please hear my plea
Sana'y may pag-asa pang baguhin ang nakaraan
