Eric Sanicola

Eric Sanicola (born May 6, 1981) is an American music producer and songwriter credited on numerous Gold and Platinum albums, including various Billboard magazine charting singles.

Career

Since the start of his career in 2003, he has written and/or produced songs (most notably) for Big Time Rush, Cascada, CoCo Lee, Jennifer Lopez, Bishop Briggs, Cher Lloyd, One Direction, Paulina Rubio, Yanni, and David Bisbal among others. He began his career as a staff producer for Ric Wake and later, RedOne. In addition to contemporary pop music production, he has also done production work on the Disney film Enchanted and TV advertisements for Sunsilk, Stride Rite, and others.

Beginnings

Sanicola's first opportunity came in 2000. At 18 years old, he wrote lyrics for Jennifer Lopez. Although they were not used on her album, he was able to capture the attention of producer Ric Wake, who gave Sanicola a publishing and production deal for the next six years, from whom Sanicola says he learned a great deal.
