ERICKOSCAR’s Dime Que Si is an album inspired by affection, personal experience, and a long-standing connection with songwriting. It reflects the nature of an artist who has for over thirty years been writing songs and playing acoustic guitar with his church worship band. His musical background also contributes significantly, since he grew up listening to love songs and ballads as a result of his father’s influence as a singer. This background provides the album with a personal basis in songwriting and emotional expression.

A striking characteristic of Dime Que Si is ERICKOSCAR’s use of both English and Spanish. Since he was born in Panamá and has resided in the United States for 34 years, together with his work in Latin America, he has been able to incorporate experiences gained in various cultural environments into his creative work. The album shows off his ability to write and sing in two languages and to draw on a wide variety of styles, such as country, pop, ballads, salsa, merengue, bachata, flamenco, vallenato, reggaeton, and mariachi. Instead of confining himself to a single musical style, ERICKOSCAR treats songwriting by believing that each song should have something important to say.

The main romantic viewpoint is especially evident in the title track, which was composed for his wife as a way of showing his love and a bit of flirtation; he calls her the love of his life and compares her to the heartbeat that inspires him, and the choice to use both English and Spanish shows off his own linguistic background. Also, since he has a passion for dancing, this influenced the making of the song and gave the project a danceable character without causing it to lose its intimate message.

The artist behind Dime Que Si has composed over 1,200 songs and has recently broadened his creative process by means of music-production software. Using this technology, ERICKOSCAR investigates aspects such as style, tempo, vocals, instrumentation, and arrangements, and refers to himself as an amateur producer who enjoys bringing his ideas to life. This hands-on method means that the album reflects both his experience and ongoing creative discovery, linking together decades of songwriting with his more recent interest in production.
