January 19, 2024 – Today, dynamic singer, songwriter, and producer, ericdoa releases his latest project titled DOA – a testament to the hyperpop sensation’s evolution after taking a hiatus to delve into deep sources of inspiration. DOA offers listeners a glimpse into ericdoa’s introspective exploration of identity, culture, and societal change. For Eric, this project is a testament to the power of diving deep into his bona fide self and using art as a vessel to tell his story through his own lens. Listen to the project HERE via Interscope Records.
“DOA is something that came together from me having fun. I was over encumbered with my thoughts and took myself in circles during my process of creation. I had a realization after a while and let myself enjoy what I was actually doing, making sure that I wasn’t dissecting every last detail under a perfectionist spell. No intentions of making an ALBUM, just making music that I like and makes me happy.” – ericdoa
During his hiatus, ericdoa immersed himself in the study of Puerto Rican civil rights revolutionaries from the 1970s. Captivated by their resilience and commitment to social justice, Eric found profound inspiration that echoes throughout DOA.
The project’s artwork pays tribute to Eric’s recent personal experience with Jeni, a nice lady who he had crossed paths with while walking in Bushwick, New York. Jeni was with her daughter and husband selling old clothing and household items. To Eric, she embodied the selfless maternal spirit that the Latin women he grew up with carried and still carry to this day. The 10-track project serves as a sonic representation of the heartfelt impact of genuine connections and the enduring spirit of love beyond familial ties – like that he experienced with Jeni.
Recently, Eric’s viral improv performances teasing the project have captivated viewers on TikTok and Twitch – driving 15M+ views in the last week alone. With a growing fan base and a unique sound that continues to defy genre boundaries, the rising artist is ready to head back on the road for his 25- date “DEAD ON ARRIVAL” tour, which kicks off on January 25th in San Diego and will make stops in numerous cities including Austin, Atlanta, DC, New York, and more, before wrapping in Los Angeles at Belasco. Sold out dates include Houston, TX, Philadelphia, PA, Toronto ON, and San Francisco, CA. Fans can expect Eric to perform much of the new album, including the rap-leaning “kickstand,” dance bop, “dancinwithsomebawdy,” and guitar-heavy “sweet tooth.”
