Erica COOPEr
Erica Cooper is an Alternative Synth Pop singer-songwriter from Bainbridge Island, blending ethereal pop textures with heartfelt lyricism and a deep devotion to the craft of music. Her work lives at the intersection of artistry and wellness — a fusion of songwriting, music production, and sound healing designed to uplift and empower.
Erica studied Jazz Vocal Performance at Cornish College of the Arts, where her musical journey truly expanded. Originally entering the program as a classical vocal major, she discovered jazz halfway through her studies after being captivated by the vibrant performances she witnessed on campus. Immersed in theory, rhythm, and piano, she began composing her own music — unlocking a lifelong passion for songwriting and music education.
Raised in a deeply musical family, Erica began singing at just seven years old with Young Voices Choir and performed in numerous productions at Bainbridge Performing Arts. A supportive music teacher played a pivotal role in her development, encouraging her through auditions and nurturing her decision to pursue music professionally. That mentorship continues to inspire Erica’s belief that music education is a powerful gateway to creativity and self-expression.
After college, Erica mentored with an audio engineer, igniting her passion for production. She recorded her first full-length album alongside a diverse group of live musicians — a transformative, once-in-a-lifetime studio experience that deepened her understanding of collaboration and sound. For the past four years, she has worked closely with producer Amit Amram, expanding her expertise in vocal production, pop arrangement, string orchestration, plugins, and the business of music.
Erica writes about eternal love, self-empowerment, boundaries, travel, freedom, and the courage to pursue your dream life. Her music is created with the intention of bringing more peace, joy, inspiration, and love into the lives of her listeners.
Beyond the studio, Erica is passionate about piano, paleo cooking, herbal medicine, psychology, biohacking, worship music, crafts, and outdoor adventure. Her devotion to both music and holistic health continues to shape her sound and her mission.
Erica is here to share the full journey — the highs, the lessons, and the breakthroughs — in hopes of making your path toward creative fulfillment more empowered, easeful, and inspired.
