Eryka, originally from Southern California, has made the Bay Area their home for 15 years. They are queer, gender nonconforming, first generation Latinx, and use they/them pronouns. Eryka's musical journey began with their grandfather's mid-century stereo, where they were immersed in marimba, bolero, mambo, and classic country. Raised amidst diverse musical influences—from their father's classic rock to their mother's Madonna and disco—Eryka absorbed a rich tapestry of sounds.
Passionate about music, fashion, and community, Eryka started DJing at house parties during their teens, and these days host intimate listening sessions and creating emotion-evoking mixes for events.
For Eryka, life is a runway where outfit and soundtrack are essential. Music, from steel tongue drums to Tibetan bowls, has been deeply therapeutic, demonstrating its timeless ability to transcend and connect. Each human connection in Eryka's life comes with its own soundtrack, underscoring music's profound influence on their journey.
