More Info
Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, Erick is a guitarist and vocalist who has played all kinds of music from Pop to Heavy Metal to Lounge Jazz. He has been performing live professionally since 2008, both for in his own projects as well as dozens of other artists and bands.
Some of his most notable performances have been on live television in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers and at a music festival in Germany attended by over 50,000 people. He has been involved with dozens of acclaimed South African artists and projects such as Jesse Clegg, Red Helen, Robbie Wessels, Karlien van Jaarsveld, and many more. Erick studied music formally and has an Honours Degree in Music Performance.
After his recent move to Northland, New Zealand in 2022, Erick has had to work his way back up from the bottom of the industry in a new country – networking with local artists and bands and taking opportunities as they come. He has also “gone solo” for the first time ever, performing covers of Rock, Blues and Pop songs from all eras in a loop-pedal fashion. Erick is an experienced professional and can accommodate artists who play in styles like Pop, Metal, Blues, Rock, Country, Reggae, Latin and Folk.
His eclectic style of guitar playing and singing, mixed with his formally trained musical expertise and over a thousand live performances, is evident in his professionalism and live execution which makes him stand out from many others.
I’m based in Haruru, Northland, New Zealand but I’m willing to travel anywhere around the country if there’s viability.

Testimonials
Hear it from some people I’ve worked with:
- Erick has been a musician inspiration to me my whole life. I watched him perform live endless times with countless people, and every single time was his best effort, and greatest outcome. Over and above performing, Erick is a serious music boff and will be able to teach all the technical and theoretical ins-and-outs that one might need. An incredible musician and a wonderful person to know.
Sean Williamson
Professional Musician
- Erick has a diverse set of skills and exceeds in most of them. I have seldom worked with musicians of higher caliber.
Jesse Clegg
International Platinum-Selling Artist
- From tearing up club and festival stages across our home country and abroad with our metal band, Red Helen, sight reading musical theatre pieces in orchestra pits, and laying down warm, emotive soundtracks at weddings and corporate functions with our acoustic cover duo, Paper Strings. I've had hundreds of opportunities to watch and learn from this world class musician/composer and if I could only choose one person to work with, it would be Erick!
