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 ↴
My heart stopped beating
I know you?ve heard that line before
Baby don?t tease me..
Somehow I knew that I met you before
Without you I am lost
Baby you?re a mystery
I know what you do to me
And I know, coz love?s a mystery
Baby you?re a mystery
You walked into my dream
And I know
Coz you?re a mystery
The moment your eyes met mine
I feel the passion
I guess it?s time to realize
Anything can happen
With your sweet kiss
How can I miss your love
Don?t leave me hangin? on
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
How can I.. Each time you cry,
Hold you endlessly..
Will there ever be you and me?
Baby it?s here and now..
[REPEAT CHORUS]
