"Eric Roberson. One word – PHENOMENAL!" - Bryan Michael Cox, Award-Winning Songwriter/Producer
In the realm of R&B/Soul, Eric Roberson stands as a beacon of authenticity and talent. A GRAMMY-nominee, Singer, Songwriter, and Producer, Eric is celebrated for breaking industry norms as an independent artist for over two decades.
Eric pioneered the independent movement, creating "Honest Music" since 2001, offering artistic freedom rarely found in mainstream music. Celebrating 21 years, Eric's 17th studio album, "Lessons," showcases his mastery. The lead single and remix featuring Anthony Hamilton, Raheem DeVaughn, and Kevin Ross received acclaim.
Beyond the studio, Eric's talents shine as a Professor at Berklee College of Music and a vocalist on Jimmy Fallon's "That’s My Jam." GRAMMY nominations, BETJ Virtual Award, and artistic directorship at the National Museum of African American Music are testament to Eric's diverse impact. As Eric embarks on his "30th Anniversary Tour'' in 2024, he continues to captivate global audiences, releasing new singles monthly.
