In 2017, singer and songwriter Eric Burton made his way from California to Texas. Born in the San Fernando Valley, he grew up singing in church and then got heavily involved in musical theater.

Burton traveled through the Western states, attending New Mexico State University before deciding to settle down and busk in Austin, Texas.
