Although Making the Band shows Erik as having an attitude, he says, "They didn't show how I joke around."
How does he feel about the fame? He thinks that it's weird because he wanted to be a musician not a TV star and he gets noticed on the street because of the TV show, and not the music.
Erik still sees O-Town as being an important part of his life in 10 or 15 years. Let's see if he's right.(I sure hope he is!)
He loves to write songs.
Erik has studied voice for 4 years.
He considers himself a "Nuyorican"
He proudly declares that Puerto Rican culture runs through his soul.
He was raised by his Italian mother and stepfather.
Erik is close to his mother, and his step dad has been a great dad to him.
Erik looks forward to meeting a girl who loves music as much as he does.
