I am Erik Nilsson, a Swedish-born multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer currently based in Spain. I have over 2500 placements for TV, movies, adverts, and artists worldwide, spanning a wide range of genres from vintage sacred styles to modern hybrid trailer cues. As a professional musician, I play piano, keys, bass, guitar, and drums, and I am also a lead and backing vocalist. Having studied music extensively in Gothenburg, I blend my classical training with contemporary styles to create innovative, evolutionary music. At Music4motion and Eatraxx, companies I own and lead, I specialize in music licensing and bespoke productions for major markets like European top 10 artists and the booming Asian K-pop and J-pop scenes. My work spans branding, trailers, authentic vintage music, urban cues, rock, and orchestral epic compositions, all without using AI in the creative process. I continue to perform jazz as a pianist and crooner in Spain and have won several awards for fusing modern urban pop with flamenco and other musical styles.
