It's been said that a writer writes. Well EGB never stops. Songs, hooks, film scores, lyrics, symphonic works, stage shows, poems, piano pieces, and yes...even love letters. But his favorite "love letters" are the ones he wants to share with the world through his music. He claims his musical creations are much like his children...he can't pick a favorite, he can't stop them from taking over his brain, they cost you more money than they make you, and they all grow up so fast :) Let's go in and "meet" some of them...

A true "studio rat," when EGB eases back in his big black chair, speakers to the left and right, and a Mac at his fingertips, it's like lemonade on a hot August night in hometown ATL. You see, to him sound is like air - he needs it and has to have it. An insatiable appetite for learning, he never grows weary of mixing sounds together to create a memorable experience that can be passed on infinitely. "The idea that my arrangements and productions will still exist on a piece of plastic long after I'm gone from the earth is just the right motivation for me to be annoyingly painstaking to every detail and endlessly dissatisfied with the end result," Erik says. In actuality, it's all about the emotion for him, but his studio is a great vehicle to drive there in. Climb aboard and go for a quick ride...

Stirring vocals and real-deal piano playing may adequately describe EGB , but it doesn't define him. There is a palpable honesty and instant familiarity to his work, but never is it predictable. There are little surprises hidden here and hidden there, presents that come in all shapes and sizes for your journey. Some are refined, but rarely pretentious. Others are delightfully homemade, but never cheap. And then there are those you open and after careful consideration you look up and say, "What is it?" In all cases, the presents are wrapped in love and truth, so pull the ribbon and see what's inside...
