Christian crushed it! Super responsive and perfect vocal tone for the outlaw country tune I was producing. Turned it around faster than anyone else I've worked with on the platform as well. Will 100% use him again!

I am blown away by Christian’s ability to create magic turning a poem into an incredible song. His soulful voice and creative melody exceeded my expectations. He lived up to his lightening fast promise of a quick turn around without sacrificing quality. His professionalism was appreciated very much as well as his excellent and timely communication. Would love to work with him again and highly recommend!

Christian sang on a track of mine and gave the track exactly what it needed. He is a great communicator and open to input. He has technical ability, artistic feel, and a super cool voice/tone dripping with character and energy. Highly recommend!

Christian is intuitive and creative, and he was able to come up with great lyrics and a vocal melody to a rock tune that started fairly standard but turned quickly into progressive rock soundscape that would frighten off all but the most seasoned musicians. Super fast turnaround time, very impressive. Highly recommend!

Grrreat performance! I am thankful again for this outstanding work! This is the second song for this album we did together. First one was a ballad which he lifted up to the next level and this very song is a high energy uptempo heavy one. He is a totally versatile vocalist. Incredible! Awesome energy, just as I presumed. Christian stays so close to my wishes. Super kind. Great harmonies too! Absolutley awesome. ;-)
And again superfast delivery and professional work. - check_circleVerified

Great person, and very hard working to get a project done, awesome!

It was wonderful working with Christian. I threw him a bit of a curveball being a track in a genre that he doesn’t usually sing and asked him to sing it in the style of the main protagonist. He nailed it, accurately conveying the character of the song. I look forward to working with him again.

Christian is amazing! Not only did he do a fantastic job singing on my song, but he also arranged the instrumentation and played all the instruments himself!

Christian is so expressive - leaning in to my songs and giving every take his all. He’s confident making very artistic decisions around interpretation and performance without straying from the original idea. My songs sound 100x better with his contributions. I keep coming back to Christian as my “go to”. And he’s a good human.

There are singers, and there are vocal professionals.
Christian has power, tone, style, control, interpretive skills,
and musicality, all of which are hallmarks of 'The Great Singers'.
Leads with emotion, harmonies with delicacy,
improvisation with intensity and focus - whatever you need,
any song becomes the best it can be
when it has vocals performed by this artist.
(Marc Mann - The Beatles, ELO, Danny Elfman, Lefty & The Hatman)Christian is an all-powerful singer, a free flowing creative spirit divining poetry and melody from the ether. He is a consummate professional: when I had a clear musical vision he brought it to life, just as I had dreamed it. He is a fearless improviser: when I had only a feeling or a riff he made it whole and complete. Working with Christian is not work at all—it is a meeting of hearts and minds and the music that is born has eternal life.
Interview with Christian Erik
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Definitely Late Night Union. I have put everything into writing and singing the songs. The fact that Adam Kasper believes in our music enough to produce us out of the kindness of his heart makes me very proud.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am singing for as many people as possible.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital recording. So easy to edit. There are so many variations of sound, including analog sound that can be produced digitally. Vinyl is the coolest medium to listen to though...
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will give your song my all - vocally, melodically, lyrically, and emotionally.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I can serve the musical community.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What is the feel you are going for in this song? How did you feel when you wrote it? How fast do you need it?
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Solar Generator, SM7b Mic, recording software, acoustic guitar, Djembe (I am a kickass Djembist)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Session singing has been my occupation for the last 10 years. I sang in musicals when I was a kid into my teens. I started singing in bands when I was a sophomore in High School. So...my path has been singing in plays, bands, classical vocal training in college while playing in a band, and continuing to play in a band in my working years. I learned how to record, mix, and produce rock music by interning at Orange Whip studios in Santa Barbara and then building my own studio.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Rock is my strength, but I can excel at any style. I want to sing for the song and the audience. Not for myself.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Make the song awesome, amazing, and human...don't chase perfection seek the most genuine emotion vibe possible.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock, Pop, Indie Rock, Southern Rock, Country, Blues Rock, EDM
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Getting my voice to match perfectly with the song.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Truth, Emotion, Grit, Power, and Dynamics.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Listening is the most important part of the process. What is the song? What is it saying? How can I give it a genuine human feel with vocals in order to have the song connect with it's listeners. How can I best serve the song? I sing the song and make revisions based on what the client wants. The vocal track or tracks are mixed into the stereo files and returned to the client. I quickly do any requested changes.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I am a professional singer and songwriter. People want me to take the vocals in the song and knock them out of the park. I add soul and range to every song.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Any person who works hard enough and has the goods to be a professional musician, especially if they are working on original music, inspires me.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a 3 room studio space. There is a main tracking room, an auxiliary tracking room, and a vocal space/mixing space. It's very serviceable and I am able to get a lot of different mic placements.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Dave Grohl. He has done it all - written great songs, insane drumming skills, great vocals, killer guitar player, jams with EVERYONE, makes films, hilarious. He epitomizes a living musical legend still doing amazing things.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Stop reading our words and listen to samples of the music we posted for you. After you have carefully listened to the tracks, feel free to continue reading.
