About Me

Erik Stephan's debut album Portrait plays like your favorite mix tape full of songs you will know by heart.

From the power-pop bubbling over in "Slow Dance" to the skittish melody of "Heaven In Gold," Erik carefully molds an album filled with his perception of classic pop songs.

In "Daydreams," Erik sings, "I wanted to be the next big thing." If Portrait is any indication of things to come, Erik might acheive his expectations.

Portrait is available now through Kanuk Recordings. To pick up a copy, please visit www.erikmusic.com for details.
