Being Released in October 2005

Hollywood, FL - September 7, 2005 Local artist prepares for his close up debut with the release of his new single “Sunshine” from his latest album “BORN TO ROCK”.

“Sunshine” the hottest new single being released from the album “BORN TO ROCK” was written, produced and heartfully sang by Ricki Erik for a friend because he was so taken back by this humbling man and his effort to win back the love of his woman that he wrote a special song dedicated to the couple titled “Sunshine”. He then serenaded the couple with the song during a romantic night attempting to rekindle the love they once shared. Ricki watched how they danced, cried and held each other tight, Ricki was so touched that he had no choice but to record and release the song for others to enjoy. The message Ricki says is “ Don’t let go and give up what you have so easily because it might not come again”. The couple reportedly is working on rekindling their relationship. Way to go! We love a good love story with a happy ending. “Girl, You’re my sunshine, Girl, You’re my dream”.

Legendary Entertainment Lawyer & Record Executive, Allen Jacobi of Pyramid Records helped paved the way to a distribution deal with Fontana Distribution a Universal Music Group Company and claims this is some of Ricki Erik’s best work on the album titled “BORN TO ROCK”. Pyramid Records founded in 1991 has represented a stable of Gold & Platinum recording artists and has released dozens of albums by such legendary rock artists as Robert Palmer, Earth Wind & Fire, The Band, Stray Cats and the Doobie Brothers among many others.

“IF I WAS GOD” a song about world peace tells of the actions Ricki Erik would take if he where of the HIGHEST POWER. Written and heart fully sang by Ricki Erik he urges the message of world peace. With lyrics like If I was God, children would never die. The world would never end. If I was God, Muslims and Jews would be friends if I was God. Ricki Erik says through his lyrics, he hopes to help explore matters of the heart with greater significance he says he finds far more rewarding and memorable in this time of war and uncertainty.

Among the rising concerns of inflation, war, declining stocks, weak dollars and high gas prices and the latest violence and conflict to affect the Middle East, this commemorative effort marks the 5th anniversary for those who fell victim to the 9/11 terror attacks. “Our Americans soldiers are bravely defending the freedom of our country and defending the freedom of others”. “We need now more than ever to believe we can come together and spread the message of peace and resolution and have an end to this conflict for the good of all mankind.” Ricki says.

Back in April 2006, Ricki’s last hit single titled “All Nite Long” debuted to #47 on the Radio and Records CHR/POP Top 50 Indicator in the company of: Kelly Clarkson, Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, Black Eyed Peas and Hoobastank to name a few. “Not bad company to be named with musically” adds Ricki Erik.





Opening for Ricki Erik is the sultry, seductive and sexy “Sonia”, Realm Music Groups’ newest and hottest R & B Singer to hit the stage this year. Dancing and singing since she was just six years old, this level 5 personal trainor can kick it up a notch with her steamy good looks and rock hard abs. Watch as Sonia graces the stage, showcasing her vocal talent and stage presence with her “Hot” new tracks from her debut CD due out later this year. This is one hot babe with vocals to die for!


Scheduled to begin touring in August, Ricki Erik is planning to strike first along the East Coast all the way from Florida to New England with a focus on radio and college touring and promoting. Ricki says “Music is one of the very few outlets of outmost importance in bringing people together to a place of harmony” and so he is inviting all those who can or want to make a difference or wish they were of the highest power to come out and join us in support of this “ Got Peace?” radio tour campaign beginning with the release of his new single at radio on August 15th. Look for this album titled “Born to Rock” to contain a controversial song or two, as Ricki Erik is known for writing and singing about matters of the heart.

Sponsors are needed and donations are welcome to support Ricki Erik and his “ Got Peace ? ” Radio Tour Campaign. The goal of the “Got Peace” Radio Tour is to raise awareness, teach tolerance and acceptance to our children and this starts with parents and teachers .

Bio

Ricki Erik is a recording artist, singer, songwriter as well as keyboardist and accomplished guitarist. I guess you can say he's passionate about music.

Ricki Erik's music is best described by music aficionados as "Uniquely crossed" Inventive, Passionate & Overwhelming" with musical influences that run from Beres Hammond, Led Zepplen, Bob Marley and Jimmy Hendrix. Rick's influences are of reality, love, happiness, pain, seduction, sex and sadness in this thing called "life".

If Ricki Eriks' music and lyrics have an authentic gritty sound its for good reason. This European born and raised rocker with a native Jamaican heritage offers an unsurprisingly different and emotionally compelling performance that comes from the heart and overall experiences of life.

Ricki Erik's music will appeal to fans of Tracey Chapman, Seal, Lenny Kravitz, Bryan Adams and Maroone 5. This authentic gritty, soulful flavor of music will also attract fans of Prince and Maxi Priest.

Formerly a member of LINEAR, a national freestyle boy group based out of Fort Lauderdale, Ricki Erik was originally scheduled to release a record with Linear in the 80's. Since then,Ricki Erik produced a Reggae album with HOT PRODUCTIONS. In 1990 he was a presenter at the REGGAE MUSIC AWARDS an extra in Random Hearts with Harrison Ford and featured in a PEPSI Commercial with Latin sensation, SHAKIRA. Years later, Ricki played alongside the likes of Stevie B. (Billboard #1 hit song "Because I love you" written by longtime friend Warren Allen Brooks, whose currently writing on the next upcoming album.

Colleagues have always expected great things to happen for Ricki. Years ago, in a heart to heart conversation between Ricki Erik and Stevie B. (Because I love you" LMR Records) Ricki asked the newly famous recording artist, how do I know when I've created a hit? Steve B answered, "You'll know when you hear it". Recently, Jimmy Starr, longtime friend and owner of Hideaway Recording Studios where Ricki Eriks' latest album "BORN TO ROCK" was produced and recorded, said he always knew Ricki had "it". In fact, more than 10 years ago he said to Ricki, "I don't know how or when but you will be a star." Well, his predictions became a reality, when recently in the recording studio with Ricki he said, "You've got a few hits here"....referring to the new album "BORN TO ROCK" due out fall 2005". "I knew you'd be back!"

Ricki has toured many European countries, Canada and the US, including venues in South Beach, FL, such as Promenade and Clevelander. On a month long promotion, Ricki performed at the famous O'Malleys on Hollywood Beach. He's a favorite at Jello Bar & Ballatou in Montreal and local fans have had a lifetime love affair with him at Roxi's in Toronto.
