Seth Erickson, a South Dakota native, became interested in country music long before he had ever written, played, or even sang a country song. From the time he was a young man, Seth grew up listening to country and attributes his love for that "honky tonk" music to his father. Seth names several artists as driving forces in his motivation to become involved in the music industry including Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings, George Strait, Alan Jackson, George Jones, and Willie Nelson. 

After graduating from Brandon Valley High School, Seth then went on to complete a four year degree from South Dakota State University with a BA in Aviation Education. It was in his early years of college that he first began to play the guitar and write music. It wasn't long before Seth started playing at small clubs and doing stand in's with local country groups.  He went on to record music at home and started selling albums of his original music at his local music venues.  It only took one trip to Nashville and he realized that he wanted to become involved with music in a much deeper venture.

Seth has now lived in Nashville for several years. He would like to send out a special thanks to everyone who has ever inspired and supported his musical venture.
