He is dubbed as the 'Prince of Pop'.

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.

Uh uh
Ooh
Huh

The very first time I laid eyes on you
There's no day that I don't think of you
Never thought that I will be true

Till this feeling that I never knew

REFRAIN
Can't imagine I've got mess in this crazy
I can't believe myself how you knock to this fantasy

CHORUS
You gave life to my dreams
Made this world real, you made me fly
Tell me why, tell me how you made this heart beat for you
Only you made my world brand new

You brought smile to my face
Colored my days, you are the one
You are the sun, the moon, the stars
It's you that I feel
You're the girl of my dreams

The very first time you smiled back at me
There's no way that this not's for me
You were all I wished and adored
It's the sunshine that's knockin' at my door

[Repeat REFRAIN]
[Repeat CHORUS]

BRIDGE
(You're the sunshine) Shine so bright
You listen to my face
(You're the sunshine) Please be mine
I'll give you my love
(I'll give you my love)

[Repeat CHORUS]

Hah
