Erik aggressively studied and worked in theater for seven years in New York City before transitioning to Los Angeles in 2004. Highlights of some his work include "ER", "Don't Shoot The Pharmacist", and "Special Breakfast Eggroll". His extensive voice-over work features animation, commercials for radio & television, and audiobooks for Random House Publishing. Along with four other narrators, he won the 2008 AudioFile Earphones Award for his work in the George R.R. Martin audio book anthology "Dreamsongs Vol. 3".

"Untitled Laynfaroh Project" marks the first collaboration since early college between he and his brother Kristian, after a prolific period of the brothers making countless 8mm video movies all throughout high school together.
