Erica Enriquez is a musician, sound designer and mix engineer based in NYC.
​
Erica is a guitar player, vocalist, sound designer and producer. Her main project is CHOO CHOO, an experimental indie rock band which is available to listen to on all major streaming platforms.
​
CHOO CHOO is New York City’s #1 train themed rock band. Led by interdisciplinary artist and musician Erica Enriquez, CHOO CHOO is a theatrical music experience that combines indie rock songwriting with the theatrics of performance art to invite passengers for a captivating ride of storytelling. Drawing influence from various genres such as hip-hop, jazz, and punk, Erica’s songwriting style holds onto a gentle, yet humorous sensibility that reveals candid but vulnerable narratives about coming to terms with the multiplicity of her identity. Bound together by the energetic pocket of drummer Graham Hazzard, bassist Conner Duke, and guitarist Peter Enriquez, CHOO CHOO invites you aboard but asks that you stand clear of the closing doors.
CHOO CHOO has performed at venues across New York, some of which include: Elsewhere, the Sultan Room, Baby’s All Right, the Living Gallery, and Cafe Erzulie in Brooklyn, NuBlu, Arlenes Grocery, the Bowery Electric, Berlin Over A and Heaven Can Wait in Manhattan, as well as the Falcon in Marlboro New York. CHOO CHOO’s music has been reviewed by various online publications as well, including Art Forum, Obscure Sound, HRMNY Presents, Buffablog, and Last Day Deaf.
​
CHOO CHOO have also released three music videos directed by Erica which you can view below.

Erica has experience doing live sound at various venues and currently works part time as an assistant audio engineer at Short Stack NY studio in Brooklyn, NY.​​
