Acts like ATB, Tiesto, Carl Cox and Paul van Dyk from over 15 years ago made Eric fall in love with electronic dance sounds. Hip-hop was also a huge influence on Eric’s ears. 50 Cent and Eminem opened up a whole new wave of sounds that Eric collected. Following his dream of making and playing music, Eric was enrolled in a media junior high school that thought the fundamentals of music production. Throughout high school, Eric DJ’d at parties and produced his own sounds with digital audio workstations. It was in college that Eric got his moniker Nyxx. Eric became heavily involved in throwing parties and running nightclubs in the heart of New York City via his company Nyxx Hospitality.
