Anthony Hamilton, Rahemm Devaughn & Kevin Ross"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

As a GRAMMY Award-nominee, Singer, Songwriter, Producer and Howard University alum, Eric Roberson continues to break boundaries as an independent artist in an industry dominated by major labels, manufactured sounds and mainstream radio. Described as the original pioneer of the independent movement in R&B\/Soul music, Eric has achieved major milestones in his career, from being a successful songwriter and producer for notable artists such as Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Dwele, Vivian Green and countless others, to headlining sold out tours across the country.
Eric is celebrating over twenty years as an independent artist, creating \u201cHonest Music\u201d since 2001, which has afforded him the artistic freedom that isn\u2019t typically offered in the mainstream music industry. Throughout 2021, Eric will be sharing his creative thought process and work he\u2019s done on his last 13 solo albums. \u201cI was more than willing to take less to enjoy my passion. I was fortunate to be rewarded with a career…a career that I never dreamed of.\u201d
In June 2021, Eric will release a new single, entitled \u201cLessons\u201d. Ironically, the song was recorded on the morning of his 12th wedding anniversary to his wife Shawn, with whom he credits as his inspiration. Eric says, \u201cBeing blessed to be with a woman who has had my back and who completes me, helped put me in a special mood to create\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Eric reflects on his new single release, he said, \u201cI thank God for not having my temporary prayers answered. We have to have the heartbreak, the roadblocks and [other] things to not work out as planned. There’s a lesson in just being patient and swimming against the current to get to your destination. That’s the lesson for me. Knowing that there’s a reason for setback, for failure, for all of it.”
In 2020, we faced an unprecedented time that was challenging, but it also afforded Eric the perfect time of solitude from the world to immerse himself creatively. With this, he created a powerful album, entitled \u201cHear from Here\u201d, a musical cry out to its listeners who longed for a sound of hope. This ten-song impromptu masterpiece was done in just four (4) weeks (March 2020). Roberson describes \u201cHear from Here\u201d as an \u201cact of service\u201d to his devoted fans.
\u201cHear from Here\u201d opens with songs like \u201cRoad to Recovery\u201d, an up-tempo jam where Roberson lays it out on the line. \u201cShows cancelled…we have nothing to do but music. I hope to take your mind off things\u201d. \u201cRoad to Recovery\u201d and \u201cOmaha\u201d show off Eric\u2019s ability to rap as well. The project closes out with its solo feature song, \u201cShining\u201d, featuring fellow United Tenors member, Brian Courtney Wilson. This compilation takes you on a joyful journey spreading hope, love and inspiration. Roberson hopes that as fans listen to this album, they are inspired to dance, love and make the best of NOW!
In 2019, Eric was asked to be a Professor at the legendary Berklee College of Music in Boston. When asked about the position he stated that \u201cIt was an opportunity that I couldn\u2019t refuse. I truly believe that at all times we are teachers and students. I not only love teaching the students but learning from them as well.\u201d
While recording the trilogy album Earth, Wind & Fire in 2017, Eric created \u201cThe Process\u201d, a forum in which he invites fans to navigate through his creative experience. It allows fans to listen and comment to unreleased songs, thereby being a part of the \u201cprocess\u201d of making music. \u201cWe are losing so much of the culture that went with listening to music. Letting the fans watch us create the albums was our way of bringing some of the old music culture back.\u201d says Eric.
Eric was nominated in 2010 and 2011 for a GRAMMY award in the \u201cBest Urban\/Alternative Performance\u201d category and continues to blaze trails unheard of as an independent artist. He was the recipient of the \u201cUnderground Artist of the Year\u201d BETJ Virtual Award, with Rahsaan Patterson in 2008, and he became the first independent artist to be nominated for a BET Award in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
