About Me
Hailing from the sun-kissed shores of St. Petersburg, Florida, Eric Hollaway is a testament to the transformative power of music. From age 5, he was enraptured by harmonies and melodies, demonstrating an innate ability to captivate audiences with his magnetic voice. Over the years, that young boy evolved into a vocal anomaly, earning the adoration of millions through his spellbinding online performances. Eric's journey has gone from wedding singer to viral sensation. Yet, amidst the diverse landscape of his musical repertoire, his passion unmistakably shines brightest for the Standards, where he feels most at home. The search for the next great male jazz vocalist has been simmering since the passing of Kevin Mahogany. But according to Jazz Weekly editor and writer George W. Harris, a new contender might be stepping into the spotlight: Hollaway [Jazz Weekly, Hollaway: Jazz-ish]. Harris describes Hollaway’s voice in his Jazz Weekly piece as unique, possessing a weight that sits between Mahogany’s lightness and the deeper tones of singers like Arthur Prysock or Billy Eckstine. Backed by a formidable band featuring Benito Gonzalez on piano, Will Slater on bass, and Josh Green on drums, Hollaway focuses on reimagining jazz standards on his new album, “Jazz-ish.” Eric's remarkable voice also graces the soundtracks of popular games like Doom Eternal and Runescape 3: The City of Senntisten and Azzanadra's Cathedral, adding an ethereal dimension to their immersive worlds. He doesn't just sing; he communicates, using that rich bass to convey stories, emotions, and memories.
