Eric got his start as a session guitarist with producers Rick Haworth and Marc Pérusse in Montreal, recording albums for Quebec pop and rock artists while playing jazz at night. Through a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, he later studied improvisation in New York with Wayne Krantz and Adam Rogers for two years, following which he worked as a freelance musician and radio jingle writer in Berlin during a decade.
Since moving to Toronto, he has been paying the bills as a studio musician and sometimes producer while creating a series of obscure albums that you should really check out. Seriously, look this up on your phone right now and become a much hipper version of yourself.
Notable collaborations (i.e. 'name dropping'): Slide Hampton, Dave Liebman, Till Broenner, David Binney, Jojo Mayer, Carlos Del Junco, Larnell Lewis, David Clayton Thomas, Richard Underhill and many more.
Eric's current band features Chendy Leon, Magdelys Savigne on percussion. Their first album, 'DARN, THAT BAND!' was releasedin June of 2024.
