Eric Ivan Rosse is a record producer, songwriter,
composer, and mixer.
As a record producer, he specializes in taking artists to the peak
of their performing abilities by supporting, guiding, and underscoring
their talent - making the most of strengths, and helping to bring
out the artists uniqueness while focusing the project towards a
career defining sound.
He has helped to musically develop and launch the careers of Gold
and Platinum selling artists like Tori Amos, Anna Nalick, and Lisa
Marie Presley, and has been instrumental in their most popular albums,
whose combined sales total well into the multi millions.
Beginning with Grammy nominated artist Tori Amos groundbreaking
album Little Earthquakes, Eric began a producing career focused
on bringing an impact and broad appeal to unique and innovative
artists who might otherwise be passed over by the mainstream. Eric
continued his work with Tori, producing her acclaimed, Grammy nominated
2nd album Under The Pink, who's singles God and Cornflake Girl went
on to be US and International smash singles.
Developing a penchant for developing artists, Eric has taken a number
of projects under his wing, being instrumental in the signings of
artists like Anna Nalick (Epic Records) and Gus (Almo Sounds) and
helping to develop a sound for signed artists like Sara Bareilles
(Epic) and Lisa Marie Presley, for whom he was also a Capitol Records
A&R consultant.
Eric's musical background is diverse. He started playing piano at
age 8, eventually studying orchestration and arranging with Jazz
great Joe Rotundi Sr. At 17, he scored an award winning short film
by a graduate student after having entered the USC film program,
and shortly thereafter, began his career as a professional musician.
Eric played in numerous bands as a keyboard player, writer and singer
for several years until forming the company EMBR Music with brother
Michael Carey, which specialized in cutting edge music for TV and
commercials. Steering away from the mundane jingle approach to commercial
music, EMBR quickly became sought after by directors and production
companies looking for artistic alternatives to the norm.
Eric eventually went on to pursue his passion for songwriting, album
production, and scoring, taking his innovative approach into the
recording process as well by setting up his studio in unusual locations
such as Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico - where he produced Tori Amos
and scored the critically acclaimed film Hand Of Fate - and Air
Studios in London, where he produced projects for EMI-UK and Sony
Music.Eric currently works out of his newly built SquawkBox Studio
in Silverlake, Los Angeles, enabling projects to be developed, produced,
recorded, scored, and mixed in house, efficiently and creatively.
