Independent artist and music maker ERIKA emerged from a life coloured by the musical corners of UK and Japan. Crafting beautiful and innovative pop, the mood can switch from haunting to joyous and from hope to despair from verse to verse. Having built an international following, ERIKA embraces the flexibility and true connectivity being an independent artist grants, by touring the UK and Europe 3 to 4 times per year, playing in unique and original spaces, from Choux Pastry cafes, the occasional living room, Sofar Sounds style, through to theatres. Her voice has also caught the attention of some established artists. She provides backing vocals, keyboards & percussion for Skunk Anansie, Japanese artist, Hotei and has toured extensively with MIKA as his backing singer and recorded a guest vocal on two tracks with #1 UK artist, Bastille. ERIKA is a huge fan of connectivity and interaction. Every show has always had interactive moments. Whether that is attaching onto a crowd by a belt connecting up to 110 people or throwing a giant pompom out from stage which triggers sounds making the audience part of the band. Expect connection through innovative technology at all her shows.
