ERIK SANTOS

"The Prince of Pop"


The Story and Songs of Erik Santos

Rhoderick Ramos Santos, now known as Erik Santos, was born in Malabon, Philippines. He was the winner of the ABS-CBN’s Star In A Million last January 2004. A young balladeer known for his soulful voice, Erik made his way to stardom through the music scene owing the title “PRINCE OF POP”. His much-awaited debut album aptly titled "This Is The Moment" shows that Erik’s moment has indeed come.

His passion for music started during his childhood years. He participated in various singing competitions.

Erik became the wildcard entry to the Final 10 of Star in a Million. He had a good start in the contest but got eliminated during the third week of competitions, when it was still a part of the Sunday noontime variety show ASAP. Nevertheless, his second chance came and his rendition of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", won him the 10th and final slot for the semi-finals round. Eventually he became one of the three grand finalists in the showdown for the title of Star in a Million. "This is the Moment", a song from the musical Jekyll and Hyde, popularized by Martin Nievera, won him the title.

His Platinum debut album and succeeding albums, sold-out concerts and a demand for corporate shows, accolades from Awit Awards, Star Awards and Aliw Awards, endorsements for a bank (Bank of the Philippine Island's Express Remit), theme songs for radio stations, and even movies earned him an unusual popularity.

His first single, Pagbigyang Muli, remained number one of WRR’s hit chart for more than 20 weeks together with his other songs filling up the chart simultaneously.

Amidst all these, Erik still remains charming and this "realness" becomes one of the biggest factors why Erik has won audiences nationwide.
