With the single « Partir », Erik received the Charles Cros Academy Award as well as an award for the best single of the year at the Festival International d' Expression Francaise in Bordeaux. Erik appeared in his first music video for his second single "Victoria", directed by Mike Japp................................... He went on to play Frederic Chopin (as character and singer) in Argentinian director Alfredo Aria's production "Les Romantiques" in Paris at the famous Théâtre du Châtelet................................. Erik continued to perform solo on stage in Paris and throughout France, and also released « Anneaux Marines », a poetry book................
