Eric Faires
Eric's passion for music ignited at an early age, beginning formal violin and piano training at just five years old at Chula Vista Fine Arts Academy. By 13, he was not only writing, producing, and recording his own music but also collaborating with other artists, laying the groundwork for what would become a prolific career.
After serving in the United States Army, Eric deepened his musical expertise by studying Music Composition at the University of North Texas, where he refined his craft and broadened his creative vision. His talents flourished in Dallas, where he established a strong reputation as a producer for local artists and as a resident producer and session musician at the renowned MaxiMedia studio.
Throughout his career, Eric has composed, produced, and recorded music for over 2,000 TV commercials for some of the nation’s most prominent brands, including Pepsi, Ford, Chevrolet, Mr. Rooter, and Radio One. Most recently, he produced the electrifying walkout anthem "Baddest Man Alive" for Mookie Betts, marking yet another milestone as he celebrates 30 years in the music industry.
