This Is The Moment… is what Erik always has to remind himself of, as he savors every winning performance.

From a very frustrating defeat in Star In A Million came the twist that amassed a number of good things for Erik Santos. His journey to his dreams that began from being a talent search hopeful had to trod into a biting frustration. Given a second chance, he gave his best and was able to push himself towards the toughest battle he had to survive over a pool of high-caliber competitors. From then on, he has been an epitome of a dreamer who gives out everything on stage. Everyone was witness to that winning performance he had to share. That Broadway song, This Is The Moment, has brought Erik into the circle of artists being looked up to by many. Erik is now an OPM artist identified with his own style. A number of hit songs he has to sing from the heart of a true champion—I Believe I Can Fly, Pagbigyang Muli, Di Ko Kaya, Kung Akin Ang Mundo, Now That I Have You, I'll Never Go, Who's Loving You Now and I Will Never Leave You, his single from his latest album Loving You Now, which also carries Bakit Ba Iniibig Ka (duet with Regine Velasquez), Mystery (composed by Martin Nievera), and Goodbye Is Not Forever (an Ella Mae Saison original and composed by Vehnee Saturno), among others.

Awit, Aliw, Star Awards and the Philippines Association of Record Industry (PARI) that gave him platinum record awards fro the outstanding sales of his album, have also recognized Erik's artistry. He is also one performer who consistently wows the crowd in his concerts here and abroad.
