RUMOUR has it that once spring rolls in, the happenin' R&B / Soul track The Way I See It will no longer be available for free on the ErikSimins.com website ... a new free music downlaod will replace it. Visit ErikSimins.com now if you want to get this hot song while it's still available!!!
Writing and singing since he was 10 years old, Erik’s early musical influences span funk, soul and pop genres including artists such as Earth Wind and Fire, James Ingram, Hall & Oates and Prince. As Erik's passion for music grew, he broadened his understanding of folk, rock and jazz and moved from away from his formal training in piano to study guitar. With the ability to write and perform Adult Contemporary, Folk, Rock, Pop and Soul, he’s differentiated himself from the majority of other indie artists having a catalogue of over 50 original songs.
Collaborating with Juno Award nominee and producer Adam Messinger, Erik wrote and released his first single, ‘Parent’s House’ in July 2004. With the music video playing simultaneously on MuchMusic, MuchVibe and MTV Canada, the track has recently topped 1,000 spins on commercial and independent radio and has created considerable interest in both Canada and the U.S.
Beating out a pool of successful songwriters, Erik’s debut single was selected for the soundtrack of “Making It Big”, a television show that will be airing this spring to over 40 million house holds across the U.S. and Canada. With a number of cameo appearances on the show, Erik will gain tremendous international exposure that will assist in promoting the release of his next single “The Way I See It”. He’s currently working in the studio with Platinum record producer K-Cut and New York’s own HighTower who has remixed for J-Lo, Beyonce Knowles, LL-Cool J and Jay-Z. His first single has also been picked up on two compilation disks distributed throughout Canada and after being rated the number one R&B/Soul artist on www.myglobalsound.com, Erik’s soon to be released second single was added to MGS’s compilation disk distributed throughout Miami, Florida.
On a national scale, Erik recently completed his Canadian tour with Ivana Santilli. A few of Erik’s previous concert dates (40 plus) can be viewed on his EPK at www.sonicbids.com/eriksimins or on his website at www.eriksimins.com that’s currently underdevelopment by WebTime. The re-launch of his self-managing, updated site that currently receives 160 hits per week, will go to 12,000 targeted music buyers and club goers across North America.
On an international level, Erik was asked to perform live on the legendary Carnaby St., London, England and was interviewed on air by South London’s 101.4 Bounce FM. With his touted performance and commercial radio success, Erik remains humble and generous performing for charitable organizations and donating his time to organizations such as FACTOR that help promote Canadian independent artists, working as a chair on their independent jury panel.
All in all, Erik’s music is an honest portrayal of the love and pain he’s experienced throughout his young life, reflecting collective influences of almost every musical genre.
