Connecticut-based artist ericdoa produces a playful yet angst-ridden mixture of hyperpop, emo-rap, and trap. Affiliated with the NeilaWorld collective and additionally known by his alter ego Dante Red, ericdoa's releases include the equally cathartic and atmospheric full-lengths COA (2020) and things with wings (2022), as well as collaborations with hyperpop/digicore scene figures such as quinn, <a href="spotify:artist:4cJKDGSv4Dz9QycXYmo565">glaive</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4lyCoxLN0aW7nJy5rec0tG">daine</a>. His third album, 2024's DOA, incorporates more shoegaze and alt-rock influences.

Eric George Lopez was born in Connecticut in 2002. Initially known as Killeric, he released his debut EP, Bleed, Vol. 1, in 2018. He soon changed his moniker to ericdoa and released DOA in 2019, and his style evolved from dark, trap-influenced rap to songs influenced by emo and alternative rock. His full-length Public Target appeared in early 2020, and he debuted his Dante Red moniker with the bitcrushed single "movinglikeazombie," which was also included on his Hi, I'm Dante EP. Collaborations with artists such as quinn, <a href="spotify:artist:4cJKDGSv4Dz9QycXYmo565">glaive</a>, SEBii, and Kurtains appeared throughout the year, and the full-length COA arrived in November. <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Interscope%22">Interscope</a> issued "Cloak n Dagger," a collaboration with <a href="spotify:artist:4cJKDGSv4Dz9QycXYmo565">glaive</a>, in early 2021, and ericdoa's surprisingly smooth, danceable R&B single "Fantasize" appeared that May. The following year saw the release of his sophomore effort, things with wings. The 2023 single ">one" was produced for Riot Games' tactical shooter VALORANT. DOA, ericdoa's third studio album, arrived in 2024, dialing down some of the glitchy, bombastic elements of his previous work. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
