Erika de Casier is a Danish singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born in Portugal to a Belgian mother and Cape Verdean father, she moved to Denmark at a young age. Growing up in the small town of Ribe, Erika discovered her passion for music early on.
At 17, she joined a school choir and band, honing her skills as a vocalist. After finishing school and relocating to Copenhagen, Erika began producing her own beats and adding her captivating vocals to create unique compositions.
In 2014, Erika became one half of the R&B duo Saint Cava. However, it was in September 2017 that she made her mark as an independent artist with the release of her debut single "What U Wanna Do." The following year saw the launch of her debut album "Essentials," which showcased her talents as both a composer and producer.
Erika's distinct sound blends elements of R&B, pop, and electronic music. Her soulful voice combined with infectious beats creates an immersive listening experience. With influences ranging from Qendresa to Kelela, Erika has carved out a unique space within the music industry.

Copenhagen-based songwriter and producer Erika de Casier releases her second full-length studio album. Sensational, which includes recent singles ‘No Butterflies, No Nothing’ and ‘Drama’

Sensational expands the universe of de Casier’s 2019 self-released debut album Essentials. Where Essentials dealt more with the infatuation stages of love, Sensational has more of an attitude, aiming to dismantle the stereotype of single women looking for love, tackling relationship dramas and the toxicity of dating. It was a chance to rewrite scenarios in ways that empowered her, fantasising about what could’ve been. Sensational was co-produced by de Casier and is a breath of fresh air to anyone with a passion for music in all its genres, as much influenced by Aaliyah and Janet Jackson as house, garage and techno. With hushed, pillow-soft vocals and production that references turn-of-the-millenium sounds, de Casier’s sound surveys the past while looking to the future.

Born in Portugal to Belgian and Cape Verdean parents and raised in Denmark, Erika de Casier initially made her mark as an ally of the Regelbau collective (home to Danish house acts DJ Sports, C.K and Central) before writing, co-producing and releasing debut album, Essentials, through her own Independent Jeep label. Her take on 90s/00s R&amp;B became a slow-burn success story and Essentials graced Best of 2019 lists at Mixmag, Gorilla vs. Bear, FACT, Dummy, and Crack Magazine.
