Erik has run his own independent music brand — releases, publishing, sync licensing, self-booking, promotion — for over a decade, and spent two years mentored at The Songwriting Academy by coaches including the hit songwriter Jeff Franzel.

He currently works as Project Manager at Nordic Audio Labs, where in a six-person company he owns email marketing, paid social, content channels, web, brand positioning and international distributor relations end to end — giving him hands-on, numbers-backed experience across the exact channels a label campaign runs on.

Alongside this he runs an active storytelling and concert-production practice, with real business development and international festival credits behind it. He is studying Business Administration at Novia University of Applied Sciences in Finland.
