I'm Eric Silver, a Nashville-based music producer and songwriter, winner of three Latin GRAMMYs, have worked on number one hits with artists like the Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain, and have over four decades of success with top country, folk, and rock musicians in both the U.S. and Brazil, including Almir Sater, Titãs, and NX Zero.
Since moving to Nashville in the 1980s, I've had the privilege of working alongside some of the greatest producers, engineers and artists in music history. I've recorded and written with legends like Shania Twain, Keith Urban, Donna Summer, Miley Cyrus, Cyndi Lauper, the Dixie Chicks and Dolly Parton. In addition to my career in Nashville, I lived in São Paulo, Brazil, where I collaborated with top artists like Almir Sater, Yamandu Costa, NX Zero and Titãs, earning three Latin GRAMMYs for my work as a producer, engineer, and arranger.
Having released three solo artist albums with over a million streams of my own music, I understand the unique challenges that come with being an artist. As a musician, I play with the goal of enhancing the song and lyrics. My strength as a producer lies in uncovering the true sound of an artist and finding or writing the perfect song that reveals their authentic personality. While I'm known for achieving rich acoustic sounds, I'm also an experienced programmer. Ultimately, my goal is to ensure that every artist or producer I work with enjoys the creative process and is proud of the final result.
My services include:
Production and recording.
Instruments I play-acoustic and electric guitar, mandolin, bass, violin, banjo, dobro and piano.
Background vocals in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
