Erica Ambrin & The Eclectic Soul Project (ESP) are an ever evolving Hip-Hop Soul band from Northern California. The band, formed in 2015 while recording Ambrin’s debut EP Suga, is a collective of musicians from all walks of life – a jam band homage to music. Growing up in Los Angeles with a DJ father, Ambrin’s eclectic taste in music influences her writing – giving you vibes of Erykah Badu, The Fugees, and The Alabama Shakes. ESP’s unique dynamics fuse soulful lead vocals and deeply personal lyrics with high energy band bravado, drawing the audience in for an intimate experience.
ESP has performed all over California and has had the pleasure of opening for iconic musicians such as Nappy Roots, The Wailers, Martin Luther, and Anuhea. After gaining popularity as a contestant on American Idol, Ambrin moved to Maui to record her first hip-hop project Lucid Dreamer, released in 2018. “With R&B and jazz undertones, Ambrin spins lyrical narratives that are romantic, vulnerable, and insightful.” – Terry Roland, The Journal of Roots Music. Erica Ambrin is currently back in Northern California working on recording two new projects.
