Ez Jon Erikson, a traditional singer-songwriter who believes in being innovative, not immitative, represents the independent artist in the digital age.

Ez, real name Eric Johnson, was born in the district of Saddleworth, near Manchester, UK, where he is still based. He has been described by his fans and critics as something of a cross between Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie and Elvis Presley. As a very charismatic and flamboyant singer, songwriter and performer, Ez has been heavily influenced by the aforementioned and by a diverse range of musical styles and artists such as Billy Joel, Big Country, Kiss, The Beatles, Buddy Holly, Bon Jovi, David Lee Roth, Hall and Oates, George Michael, Duran Duran and Bee Gees to name only a few. He began writing and recording his own songs at school, and formed the duo ‘Vis-a-Vis’ with his friend Julian Flindle, which later became ‘Erikson Flindle’. The pair have remained close friends since, writing and recording many great songs together, and in 2001 they joined forces with Ez’s brother Sam Johnson to form the acoustic rock pop trio DETOURS, writing, recording and performing their own material, drawing on all of their rock, pop, folk, country, soul, gospel and even brass band influences. Their music does not fit into any typical stereotype, but is very eclectic.
