"Whitacre is that rare thing, a modern composer who is both popular and original"
- The Daily Telegraph, London

Eric has inspired millions as composer, conductor, innovator, broadcaster and charismatic public speaker. His compositions rank among the most popular and frequently performed of the early 21st century, their reach broadened since 2010 by the extraordinary success of his online Virtual Choir project. Light & Gold, his first album as composer and conductor, won the 2012 Grammy® Award for Best Choral Recording and instantly topped the US and UK classical album charts.

Born in Nevada, he discovered a passion for choral music while studying at UNLV and he began composing soon after. He went on to study at the Juilliard School of Music in New York under John Corigliano. Many of his choral compositions, Cloudburst, Lux Aurumque and Sleep among them, have entered the standard choral repertoire and his orchestral music has been performed by some of the world’s most distinguished orchestras both sides of the Atlantic. Eric is currently Composer-in-Residence at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University, UK.

A distinguished speaker, Eric has been invited to address the UN Leaders Programme, give the closing plenary at Davos World Economic Forum and to speak for UNICEF and Google among others. He has appeared twice on the main stage at the global TED conference in Long Beach CA, earning standing ovations on both occasions. Recent Virtual Choir projects include ‘Glow’ written for the Winter Dreams holiday show at Disneyland© Adventure California and the Virtual Youth Choir, in association with UNICEF, which premiered at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Broadcast live to 119 countries worldwide, Eric made his iTunes Festival debut with his professional choir in 2014, inviting multi award-winning composer and conductor Hans Zimmer to join him on stage. The performance was consequently released as a live album. Eric returned to the Minnesota Orchestra for a second residency in 2015 culminating in three performances at Orchestra Hall.

Shunya - described by critics as an ‘enigmatic new discovery’ - is an internationally touring artist and collaborator who has worked with some of the most exciting talents in world music - including South African cellist Abel Selaocoe. He is also son of legendary Irish guitarist and producer Dave Keary (Van Morrison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Emma Bunton)

In 2021, he was commissioned to arrange music for orchestra for Abel’s debut BBC Prom Africa meets Europe, which he also performed in, at the Royal Albert Hall, a show that was met with universal praise. The same year, he provided a remix for acclaimed jazz trio Go Go Penguin’s GGP/RMX album. Despite featuring on the project alongside electronic heavyweights such as Squarepusher, Clark and 808 State, Shunya’s reworking of To The Nth was described as ‘almost stealing the record’.
Shunya has released three previous EPs and two singles - with track Wonder N Wane feat. Hayley Williams receiving support from Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1. He also hosts his own monthly show on Soho Radio in which he interviews other artists and curates a wide selection of sounds - finding the threads that bind music from different cultures together.

“Shunya’s music changes and evolves, adapting to different situations like it were alive.”

I am currently a student at the University of Iowa, and I occasionally do recording projects for fun in my spare time. Many of which are uploaded here.

I write songs as Weatherfield, and compose as Elijah Counts.
