biography
What do Simon Cowell, William Orbit, The Shapeshifters and CamelPhat have in common? They are amongst the slew of Dj artists and record labels, that have worked with west London based noted club diva and singer/songwriter maven Erire.
Erire was born and bred in South London, and has Nigerian parentage. She has a unique vocal style and songwriting ability that sets her apart from many of her contemporaries.
Erire’s past collaborations have included, co-writing and vocal performances with, Dmitry Almazov (aka Bobina) ‘September, Rain’ and ‘More Than Love’. Justin Harris (aka The Kreeps) ‘No Quarter – (Breakdown)’. She was also the vocals behind Haji & Emanuele’s huge club smash ‘Take Me Away’, which was re-released in 2008.
After a few years break away from the music biz, Erire embarked on a few collaborative cowriting and vocal projects with the likes of: K-Klass, Seamus Haji, Abel Ramos, Camelphat, Nick Hussey, Justin Harris, Jason Chance, and Judge Jules.
In 2018 Erire felt the time was right to break out on her own! Be truly independent. That year Erire released her stunning EP, “All Night Long”. The EP received glowing acclaim and reviews, by Dj’s and clubbers alike!
Those of you in the know, will remember these club hit classics, that Erire penned and re-vocalised. Destination – (Darren Tate), SOS – (Stonebridge), Dusk Til’ Dawn – (Danny Howells & Dick Trevor), Obsession – (Fuzzy Logic, produced by William Orbit). The beats were revisited and re-crafted with the artisan expertise of the production master Tim Cox, (formerly known as one half of the production outfit, The Band of Gypsies, and co-writer and co- producer of the huge club classic anthem “Everybody’s Free” as sung by Rozalla). Once again, Erire’s powerful, heartfelt vocals revisit and breathed new life, into these classic melodies and lyrics!
In 2021 Erire collaborated, with the original ‘OG’ house master Felix Da Housecat, and his production partner Dave The Hustler’s, deconstructed reworking of the original 1992 club classic ‘Obsession’, that was originally produced by the legendary William, Orbit! ‘Obsession X’ was received enthusiastically, by Dj’s and the clubs alike, earning Erire another club smash!
This year sees Erire embarking on another collaboration! Her new single ‘Runaway’, sees her teaming up with producer/remixer Rescue Rangerz, who stormed on to the dance floor in 2017, with their official remix for Global superstar P!nk. ‘Runaway’ will no doubt, be the summer anthem of 2023!
