As her first year at CSU, Chico, she competed and was the first freshman ever to win the Kruska Classical Piano Audition. Her performance was extraordinary which caught the attention of bass player Leng which he is currently attending CSU, Chico majoring in music industry. Leng and Eriko became friends and Leng was introduced to some of Eriko’s pieces which lead to the idea of starting a band. Leng asked Yo Sae Lor, a long time friend and active drummer, to join the band. Lor brought in some background in metal, nu-rock and funk to spice up the flavor. Finally, a former member of Kando, a slow ballad band from Chico, Peng was invited into the band, who had many experiences with music composition in the small Hmong Music Industry. Envy Joy, which is managed by Leng, is out to illustrate that classical and orchestra, pop, and traditional Hmong melodies can be bend with rock balanced with a melody in their work.
