Biography

Erik Sjøholm’s musical journey began not just in the melodies of his childhood, but in the stories of his ancestors, whose voices still echo in his soul. Growing up surrounded by the rich folklore and myths of his Nordic heritage, Erik was drawn to the power of storytelling as a way to understand the world and his place in it. This connection to the past has profoundly shaped his approach to music, where each song becomes a narrative—a piece of a larger myth that speaks to the timeless themes of love, loss, and the quest for meaning.
As a singer-songwriter, producer, and recording arti ... st, Erik has spent years honing his craft, blending acoustic warmth with the depth of his lyrical storytelling. His music is more than just songs—it is a journey, a pilgrimage through the landscapes of the heart and soul. Influenced by his personal hero’s journey, Erik’s work is an exploration of the self, the spirit, and the intricate web of connections that bind us all. With each performance, he seeks to create a space where listeners can find their own stories reflected in his, offering them a moment of connection and recognition in a fragmented world. Read More

Custom Made Song

We have a zoom call or phone call where you tell me your story and preferences for your desired song, genre, style, tempo etc. Based on your story and song preferences I craft a song for you. When I have a first draft version of the song you will get the chance to review / edit / requests changes in the lyrics and music and when all is checked and good to go I record a final, high end, studio recording of your song and finally we craft a cover art picture for your song. Later you'll have options to release the song online via my artist profile.
