Erik Segel is a songwriter born in Barcelona, Spain (1993). He started taking drum and piano lessons at the age of 12. As a teenager, he played drums in various metal bands, such as Aurasis (recording the albums "Eclipse", "Rage" and "May the riot begin") and Overdriven 66, as he started writing his own pieces. In 2012 he joined the tribute band "Meinstein - Rammstein Live Experience" as lead singer: a project that has continued till the present day. In 2013 he published his first book of poems, "Luz de velas", which triggered a full commitment to creation rather than interpretation. Under the deep influence of musicians and poets such as Leonard Cohen, Mark Knopfler, Tom Waits, Matt Elliott or Portishead, his style moved from ballad to alternative folk, yet still preserving metal and electronic music elements. His debut album, "One-Night Marriage" (2019) summons intimacy, fragility and platonic views on love, sex and loss.
