About Firm

Gifted with hands that bring keys to life, Eric D. Wortham II has been
captivating audiences for years. From a young age, Eric’s heart desire
was to play the piano. With this in mind, his father prayed that God would
anoint his hands for service. At the tender age of nine, Eric began learning
to play the piano. He would later study the classical mastery of composers
such as, Bach, Haydn and Scarlatti.

At the High School for Creative & Performing Arts (CAPA), Eric learned to
play jazz under the teachings of musical director, Dr. Kevin Rodgers.
During his training with Dr. Rodgers, Eric was introduced to the sounds and
musical style of Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba. Dr.
Rodgers’ influence on Eric allowed him to discover the path in which he
wanted to go. However, Eric had to learn to balance playing the new music
styles that he loved and the church music that he was accustomed to from
his youth. This caused Eric to develop a style all his own that has resulted
in the release of his debut album, appropriately entitled, “When I Became
Myself”.

Eric is an extremely gifted pianist/composer and was the recipient of the
year 2000 Piano Prodigy Award. At only 21 years old, Eric teaches piano,
and has played at The Clef Club, Kimmel Center, Academy of Music,
Zanzibar’s, and Warmdaddy’s among others, all in Philadelphia, and has
created a buzz in numerous cities including New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Baltimore, Trenton, Miami and in Bermuda! Eric is
described as “electrifying” in his live performance

him to accompany many of the other artists on the record label roster, as
well as to accompany and collaborate with numerous artist such as Vivian
