With a career spanning over three decades, Eric has made a substantial impact on the world of film, television, and stage, solidifying his position as a talented and versatile performer.

Eric Dean Turic, born on December 25, 1971, in Holland, Michigan, was brought up by his mother, Emma Sue Rogers, in the quaint town of Muldrow, Oklahoma. He has three brothers and one sister, and his family's nomadic lifestyle during his childhood led to a series of relocations, with the family setting up residence in various places, including Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Arizona, as well as the Mexican city of Juarez.

As a young boy, Eric's voice would often be heard ringing out in church and school choirs, his love for music slowly but surely blossoming into a full-fledged passion.

This nascent interest in music received a significant boost when Eric joined a band in the 5th grade and began to play the saxophone, an instrument that would go on to become an integral part of his musical journey.
