Artist Biography

Born in Milwaukee in 1950, Erlien started playing piano as a four-year-old and began a ten-year study of classical piano by age seven. In his teens Erlien listened to a variety of artists whom he credits for influencing his work. These include Buddy Holly, Woody Guthrie, Curtis Mayfield, The Temptations, Bob Dylan and Jackson Browne. As a student at Miami University in Ohio in the late '60s, Erlien sharpened his concert skills and began performing in lecture halls and local clubs. Feeling the need to reach out to people in a field other than music, he moved to California where he earned a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from San Diego State University. Today he is a licensed Marriage, Family and Child Counselor.
