officiallyerika Erika Footman London ERIKA emerged from a life coloured by the musical corners of London and Japan. Crafting beautiful and innovative pop, the mood can switch from haunting to joyous and from hope to despair from verse to verse. Her voice has also caught the attention of some very established artists. She toured with MIKA as his backing singer, provided backing vocals, keyboards & percussion for Skunk Anansie on their recent European Tour (2017) and recorded a guest vocal on two tracks with #1 UK artist, Bastille and Ella Eyre. In 2016 Erika self-released her ‘Onna’ EP (meaning woman in Japanese); recorded in Latvia with Latvian #1 band Instrumenti using a variety of instruments such as tap shoes, flight cases, zips, boom whackers and old organs and pianos. It also saw the release of her very own Onna VR App, which is available for smart phones for free and has video snippets for each song from the EP. Erika is the first unsigned artist to have released a VR app. Teamed with European and UK tours all booked by her fans. ERIKA will be releasing her new EP "Bugeisha" via Pledgemusic, the final EP to the Onna-Bugeisha Trilogy.
