Biography
Alternative pop
With a background in opera singing, and a "fiery spirit" which cascades out of her music, this "Independent Spirit" as an article in Backstage West (May 2002) called her, has pursued her career with determination and skill. Erinn has performed with her band at such coveted venues as The Whiskey, The Knitting Factory Main Stage, The Roxy, and The Mint, for the past 5 years. Erinn studied songwiting with Phil Swann (Staff Writer for Dreamworks), with Harriet Schock ("Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady"), and with Jai Josephs. She has worked with producers Paul Ebersold (Spacehog, and Three Doors Down), and Jim Wirt (Incubus, Fiona Apple, and Alien Ant Farm).
Aside from promoting herself as a singer/songwriter, Erinn wrote and performed the music for two Virgin Mobile "Paygoism" national commercials (2005). The F.X. Network also licensed her song "I am King" to appear on an episode of The Shield, (aired May, 02). She has written both opera and rock music for Independent films such as Mad Song. She has sung opera and her original music around the word in Industrial Showcases for the Wella Corporation, Sebastian, Matrix, and TIGI Corporations. Erinn also sang opera in a national Coca-Cola commercial (Directed by Samuel Bayer), and placed second in the "Chick Singer Night" National Songwriting Competition, with her song, "Revolution."
Erinn's "alternative rock sound could be likened to a cross between Tori Amos and PJ Harvey" as stated in Backstage West. She has also been referred to as a distant cousin of Kate Bush."
