Ricki Erik, The Interview Series.

Words By Joey Rochert.

Which artists in the current industry inspire you the most?

Bruno Mars’ music seems authentic back to old school. I find modern music not to be so inspiring, but Bruno Mars takes it to another level when you listen to Bruno Mars, you never get bored of that music, just about every song is memorable.

What is the best thing about being a musician in 2023?

It’s almost like a new start, and the love of music never dies. It’s constantly in my head day and day out.

Is there a certain place you often go to write? E.g a certain room, or environment?

It could happen at any given time while driving in the car taking a shower taking a walk lifting weights. Inspiration comes at any given time and when it hits you it’s like a ton of bricks falling on top of your head.

What is your first memory of music? 

As a young boy in the family home my mother and father and my siblings they would have house parties even though I was young I would always gravitate to the music as soon as the stereo came on.
