Eric Michael Hopper began his musical journey at the age of six when he discovered the keys of a piano.

From there, he never looked back. Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, Eric's experiences would inevitably find themselves embedded in song. Over the years, he became the frontman and writer for several bands, where he began playing guitar. This would add a dynamic and certain versatility to his songwriting approach. He has spent decades working toward making music for a living and crafting hearfelt songs about his journey along the way. His recently released solo album entitled Eric Michael Hopper "Cross Over" is continuing to be embraced with worldwide public support. The inspiration for this record is mirrored in every song by his true-life struggle and journey. This journey has taken him from humble small town beginnings, to making his national television debut on the CBS Early Show as a result of the thousands of fans that have embraced him on the web. In 2006 he consistently maintained the #1 most viewed pages on the myspace country music chart for over a year, topping over 22,000 artists. At one point he reached the #10 most viewed music pages of 1.3 million artists of all genres worldwide. He has created an amazing success story through the power of the internet to syndicate his music, to the extent that he has been referred to by FOX television hosts as "a working stiff become cyberspace superstar". In addition, Yahoo.com recently featured him on their front page as the next country music star. This success he has found through his thousands of online fans has prompted his movement into the mainstream media.
