More recently, he has gone on to showcase his talent booking college tours and taking on gigs at nightclubs and conventions throughout the Midwest. With a 'go-getter' personality and high potential, the young entrepreneur has already connected with and opened for big name artists like 50 cent, Soulja Boy, and P.diddy.

Like the Postal Service before them, SheLoom's Jordon Zadorozny and Gaetani developed a creative working relationship that allowed them to write and make music together despite living halfway around the world from one another. Through the power of the web and impromptu jet sets, the duo was able to co-produce their debut album "Seat of Empire." Described as a mishmash of iconic progressive rock groups like Fleetwood Mac, XTC, Todd Rundgren, Chris Squire, and Supertramp, "Seat of Empire" hails an original new wave sound often referred to as filmic art rock.

Born and raised in North GA, this handsome singer/ songwriter decided to jumpstart his music career by moving to Athens, GA- the birthplace for both modern alternative rock and New Wave Music. Picking up local gigs throughout the college city helped him to catch the eye of country rocker Zac from the Zac Brown Band and land the opening act for the alternative country group most nights at the famed GA Theatre. Following in the footsteps of major music groups and artists to come out of Athens like R.E.M, Widespread Panic and the B-52's, to name a few, Eric has quickly built up a wide ranging fan base from screaming college girls to old school rockers.
