Choosing the flute as her first instrument, Erica Berry began her career as a musician in the Berkeley Unified School District.Participating in numerous jazz bands, marching bands and orchestras, Erica discovered a passion for the art of performing.Becoming involved in school plays, public speaking contests and various choirs, Erica Berry began her journey to becoming not just a musician, but an entertainer.
Joining the Young Musicians Program at U.C. Berkeley while in High Scool, Erica became aware of her vocal talents.After two unsuccesful attempts to enter the programme as a flute major, in desperation she decided to sing.David Tigner, world renowned Baritone and vocal coach recognised a special gift.From that moment on, Erica's primary focus became her voice.
Eric went on to study voice at Howard University.With formal classical training and participation in the Howard University Gospel Choir, there was no doubt that Erica was fast becoming a voice of the future.
Erica's debut album "Life & Love" pays tribute to the old while making a statement for the new generation of vocalists.Because of her unique and refreshing style, she has received rave reviews from media and music critics.
