Through his album Dime Que Si, ERICKOSCAR has created a work influenced by a remarkably wide range of musical styles. The variety of genres in his creative approach encompasses country, pop, ballads, salsa, merengue, bachata, flamenco, vallenato, reggaeton and mariachi, thus giving the album a background that spans many musical traditions. Instead of associating himself with just one genre, ERICKOSCAR lets his songwriting follow the idea and the emotion he wishes each song to express.
His interest in that philosophy goes back to his childhood, since his father, who was a singer, exposed him to love songs and ballads. Furthermore, the acoustic guitar has always been an important element in his life because of his participation in a church worship band. These experiences have formed the basis of an artist who has kept songwriting as a significant means of expression.
Another significant element in Erick Oscar’s artistic viewpoint is his connection with various cultures. Although he was born in Panamá, he has settled in the United States and has also spent a great deal of time working in different parts of Latin America. It is these experiences which account for the variety in his creative interests. His method is not based on sticking to one formula; rather, it is rooted in the styles and experiences that have been with him throughout his life.
The album also represents a phase of creative expansion since mastering production software has enabled ERICKOSCAR to have more control over various elements such as tempo, instrumentation, arrangement, vocals, and style. This shift gives a more modern flavour to an artistic approach which has always been based on songwriting and the use of acoustic guitar. Dime Que Si thus serves as a snapshot of an artist who is widening his methods while at the same time keeping the personal approach that has directed his work from the start.
