Erik Stripparo - Erik's musical journey began at the tender age of 14 when he first picked up an instrument, swiftly followed by the enchanting world of songwriting. His quest for musical expression led him to the vibrant heart of Berlin, a city teeming with creative souls, where he found himself immersed in a diverse community of fellow artists. In Berlin, Erik's musical horizons expanded far beyond the realms of rock and acoustic, as he artfully wove the captivating sounds of Electronic Music into his repertoire, paying homage to the very essence of the city that inspired him. Erik's burgeoning talent did not go unnoticed, and he soon found himself featured in a captivating documentary chronicling Berlin's eclectic busking scene and its ever-evolving musical landscape, a testament to his growing recognition in the city's artistic circles. Additionally, his remarkable unplugged rendition of the song "Girl" became a standout inclusion in this memorable release. Notably, Erik embarked on collaborative endeavors, most notably partnering with Raz Ohara for a mesmerizing composition named "Me or You," which they co-wrote and passionately performed. This extraordinary piece found its home under the distinguished Kitty Yo music label, marking a significant milestone in Erik's career. In Berlin, Erik's artistic ambitions transcended the realm of music, as he began creating captivating videos featuring fellow artists in the city. His creative spirit soon caught the attention of international audiences, earning him a place on Magic Music TV in Italy and Satellite, where he showcased his talents through an eccentric cooking show titled "Cibi Alterati." Following his relocation to Sydney in 2010, Erik briefly stepped away from the music scene, but the call of his passion proved too strong to resist. Resuming his musical journey in the vibrant backdrop of Sydney, Erik has recently self-published a collection of his older demos. As a testament to his evolution as an artist, he delved into the realm of AI-driven artistry to craft a visually stunning video for his song "This Drop," which was released to the world in September 2023. Erik's musical odyssey is one of relentless creativity, traversing borders and genres, and it continues to evolve, promising captivating melodies and artistic innovation for years to come.
