Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness:
Eric developed vocal cord nodules because of several health issues that led to incessant crying as an infant. By the time he was three years old, doctors suggested to his mother that she place him with a speech therapist. The speech therapist informed her that the exercises used in speech therapy were the same used in voice lessons.
As a result, Eric began to sing in the children's choir at church. Soon after, the music teacher at Eric's elementary school strongly encouraged Eric to audition for the All-American Boys' Chorus--he did, was accepted and spent the next 5 years singing his way across the country and even the globe.

Now in 8th grade, Eric is about to release his first demo CD, produced by his voice teacher, Kelly Rice. Awaiting final approval of the tracks and cover art, it should be available later this spring.
