Erica had an interest in music in her youth. She took piano lessons as a child, played clarinet in the school band in junior high, and learned guitar and bass in high school. Life then became a symphony of routine and responsibility when she became a mother.

She enjoyed singing karaoke with friends but never considered singing seriously until recently, when she began taking vocal lessons in 2023. Now balancing motherhood with her new-found passion, Erica wants to share her voice at local pubs and festivals.

She and Peter Benson have a keen interest in rock and alternative music.
