Erica Whitney

Erica Whitney was born and raised in Brookings, South Dakota. She began playing piano at the age of five—where she still composes and performs her songs today—and also studied violin for nine years. Erica started writing the music that would become her debut album, FACE THE MUSIC, as early as age 13, and began producing it during her sophomore year of high school. On August 14, 2025, Erica released her second album, Tunnel Vision, now available on all streaming platforms, her website, and her Linktree. Her third record is already complete and awaiting the perfect release date in 2026, while her fourth album is currently being written. Eager to share her music, Erica often says: “My favorite songs and artists have impacted my life in big ways, and since I have the capability, I want to do that for someone too. Creating community and the sense of empathy and belonging is what writing and performing is all about for me.” Erica’s sound and tone are often described as unique, setting her apart from the typical “Nashville” style. She can belt the house down with her powerful voice, but just as easily draw you in with her delicate, emotional delivery. Currently available on all platforms are her albums FACE THE MUSIC and Tunnel Vision, and nine additional singles released outside of those projects.
