Erika Jayne

Erika Jayne fell for music since she was just a kid. She was interested to pursue a career in music because she was inspired by her mother who was a pianist and music teacher. "My mom was a young mom, 18, so she would always have the latest music on in the car. ... Music was always playing in the house, which was cool," she recalled.

"At 3-years-old, I would go in the closet, ask my mom to introduce me, and pop out to put on a show for my family. I would usually sing 'Little Miss Muppet'. Then, when I was 5, I won the Best Little Performer award in my dance class, and my first performance was singing Dolly Parton's '9 to 5' in the third grade school talent show. I knew I wanted to be a performer."
