eRiON

Erion, born Erion Kacani, hails from Albania (Europe) and holds an extreme passion in urban pop music field.

Erion has a long resume of past accomplishments, including most recently writing songs for Donnie Clang of "Making the Band" fame (Bad Boy Records) and has also worked with Eren Cannata (Brown Dog Records).

Multi-cultured and bilingual, Erion writes songs in two languages; Albanian and English. This allowed him the ability to collaborate with a young talent from his home country of Albania, Miri who he has written songs for and also recorded a duet with entitled, "Hajde" (Come). The singles music video had airplay on a number of Albanian stations.

Erion is excited and set to release his debut album and his single "In My House," with a small promotional tour to hit Europe at the end of 2008.

Erion, was born in Albania in the most crucial of times and lived through the domination of communism under one of the most ruthless dictators, Enver Hoxha.

He has seen poverty, struggle, has lived without water or electricity where no ghetto can compare. Leaving his country at age 11, Erion then moved to Greece where he was introduced to racism, along with the abuse from Greek Society, where Albanians that migrated to Greece were afraid to speak their own language knowing they would get deported. After one year, Erion moved back to Albania in hopes of living a normal life and just as he was getting settled the country went under a depression causing a civil war. The civil war caused Erion and his family to make another tough choice, as they left his motherland and migrated to New York, USA where he has continued to live since and where he first discovered Hip Hop and his passion for writing. Erion has been part of this culture since before he could even speak English.

From all of his hardships, Erion believes it is time to introduce the world that while we are and always live through rough times now and then we should always make the best of it. Life is not a perfect smile but we should try through music and poetry to make the best outof what we're dealt.
