As a child at 5 years of age, I started singing (both solo and choir) and acting in plays at School, Church/Sunday School and on stage in local halls. I started learning to play the guitar at age 14; and joined my first soul band as a vocalist a year later.  Then joined a Glam Rock/pop band, then a blues band; and then an original/covers Funk band (based at one of Cambridge Universities) where we played at quite a number of their May Balls functions and other events. Throughout the years that followed I took more to singing than playing the guitar as that's where my passion lies.

As a Vocalist/Frontman and guitarist; I've performed in semi-professional bands at a range of functions and venues like pubs, weddings, parties, balls, social clubs, hotels, nightclubs, universities, corporate functions, military bases, festivals, barbecues, charity events and even a vessel on the river Thames. I've won singing competitions (solo, band and karaoke); done session (live and studio).  As a songwriter; I've written several songs, and been offered a publishing deal with one of them.  Have attracted strong interest from record companies - strongest from Arista Records (back in the day).

I have a distinctive powerful vocal sound/style (natural and falsetto).  Because my voice is powerful, it's been said; you don't need a microphone with a voice like that!  I can also get an audience motivated with ease.  Some say; I'm like a James Brown; sounds like Errol Brown - in some of the high notes; Levi Stubbs & Teddy Pendergrass - because of my gravelly voice; Eddy Grant - I suppose because of the Caribbean accent when singing reggae. But all that is debatable…because I know I have my own original distinctive vocal sound and dancing style.

Several years’ experience singing live - soul, Motown, Disco, Funk, Reggae, Soca, Jazz, Blues, Rhythm'n'Blues, Rock'n'Roll and Rock.  I've recorded in home and professional studios - such as Chapel Studios, Lincolnshire, UK.

I’m also experienced as an Actor/Supporting Artist/Extra & Photographic Model.

Zircona is the moniker of singer/songwriter Eric C. from Columbia, Missouri. Zircona’s pop/rock songs have the post-punk intensity of a young Elvis Costello, the nervy new wave-ness of David Byrne, and the contrasting elements of tenderness and dark humor of Warren Zevon.
