E.P., or Eric William Pierson is a Rhinestone Records recording artist, performance artist, and actor. A New Orleans native, he's also known as IMAGINE "the" BAND - "an a capella massacre, a one-man rat pack. No music just me singing, I slay and pay homage to the famous and infamous singers of pop music and the underground all in the name of pure entertainment." He currently lives in Los Angeles.
