ÉRICA

Biografía

  • Érica is a producer, DJ and vocalist from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
    Érica has her head in the clouds but her feet firmly planted in the dirt. Her earthy voice exists in direct contrast to her instrumentals, which are ethereal yet grounded by stumbling drum machines and bubbling organic keys (she’s a fan of both industrial innovators This Heat and dreamy French synth poppers Air). It’s at once soothing and a little dark, like you’re listening in on demos recorded in her bedroom. In addition to her entrancing work on record, with her two release “To Believe” (MAWW Records, 2013) and “Beautiful” (Baphyphyna. 2017) Érica has lately been exploring dancier territory, with a new live act that sees her typical beats incorporating more house and techno structures. Her DJ set, on the other hand, with new sets out monthly on Reform Radio (Manchester, UK), is dedicated to electronic music produced in her homeland Brazil, as well as her own productions and vocals. She is a Red Bull Music Academy alumna (Class of Montreal 2016) and also tours with her synthesizer workshop Synth Gênero.
