Like many musicians, Eric Walsh comes from humble beginnings. No one handed him his success, he worked for it. As music is a passion and calling, he had significant motivation on his journey to becoming a household name. He didn’t choose this career path, it chose him, and Walsh realizes there was no other option than to make a living as a musician.
Eric has not lost his sense of self on this journey. If anything, music has helped keep him in check with himself. He hits the gym hard to stay healthy, makes time for friends, adores his German Shepherd Holly, and deeply appreciates his band Authority Zero. All in all, Eric is the same good guy he has always been but making it in the world he loves has made him a better person.
In fact, Walsh portrays himself as utterly human. He will not shy away from the times he has goofed (not his word) up or battled what he calls the “Thor of colds” in order to keep working on a new song. He insists on always making time for fitness but does not deprive himself of burritos and macadamia nut pancakes. If anything, he seems like a cool guy to hang out with.
While musicians can be regarded as conceited, Eric is anything but. He has genuine affection for his friends and family plus a great sense of humor!

Want to see the soft side of this rocker-the image of him holding an adorable koala is sure to touch even the hardest of hearts.
