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 ↴
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies i'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
Was standing here all along
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you i promise you
I've loved you forever in lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore i give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won and with this vow
Forever has now begun
Just close your eyes each loving day
I know this feeling won't go away, no
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you ooh, I promise you
Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
And I will take you in my arms
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
(right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you just close your eyes
Each loving day
I know this feeling won't go away, no
Every word I say is true this I promise you
Ooh, I promise
Every word I say is true this I promise you
Ooh, I promise you
