Eric Harper was conceived in Argentina, born in Arkansas, and raised in Portugal. He has been making music since the age of 16. He is now based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where he composes, performs, and writes.

He graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Film Scoring degree, Magna Cum Laude — completing a four-year program in two and a half years. His formal training shaped a compositional voice rooted in warmth, emotional clarity, and melody that has served him across drama, comedy, romance, documentary, children's programming, and theatrical performance.

His Emmy Award was earned for Create Together, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's celebrated collaborative series on HitRecord — a platform built around the idea that creativity is more powerful when it belongs to everyone. The show's ethos mirrors Eric's own: unity not as ideology but as lived fact.

His television credits span over 6,000 episode placements across more than three decades. Named credits include How I Met Your Mother, The Daily Show, Shameless, Burn Notice, The Originals, RuPaul's Drag Race, Impractical Jokers, Top Chef, America's Got Talent, The Kardashians, Heartland Docs, DVM, and dozens more spanning network, cable, and streaming platforms across multiple countries. He is currently scoring Undivided, a PBS documentary series exploring the religious minority landscape of America.

His film credits include Wished — which earned him Best Score recognition at both the New York Film Awards and the European Independent Film Awards — and Inseparable, featuring Kevin Spacey and Daniel Wu. He served as Music Director for the award-winning play Ugly, directed by Nelsan Ellis and covered by Variety in 2005.

Eric has collaborated with Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová (Oscar-winning composers of Once), Andy Grammer, and Nathan Wang. He has composed for the United Nations and the Universal House of Justice. His sync licensing catalog is placed through Triple Scoop Music, Crucial Music, Tribe of Noise, Bedtracks, Collabhouse, MuSync, and Fat Sound.

Beyond film and television, Eric is the composer and co-owner (10% equity) of WhisperWings, a children's sleep app featuring Ora — the voice used by BMW globally in four languages. WhisperWings is currently being presented at APEX FTE EXP Asia, pitching placement on international airline entertainment systems.

As a live performer, Eric delivers theatrical solo shows to near-universal standing ovations. He performs every Friday at Fox and Hounds in Ladysmith, BC, and has recently added Embers in Nanaimo to his regular circuit. He is booked for the Pacific Contact Showcase on September 30, 2026 — the primary industry showcase for professional venues across Canada. He is represented by Margot Holmes at Caline Artists International.

Eric's Bahá'í faith is central to his artistic and spiritual identity. His family reflects the unity his music embodies: his wife Helene is Acadian French-Canadian; his daughter Ganga was adopted from India; his son Shiloh is half Persian. He speaks to his children in Portuguese. Helene speaks to them in French. The household speaks four languages.

He is currently writing The Unfortunate Timing of Mr. Clockington — a children's book about a clock that refuses to tell time but insists on telling the truth. He has been working on it since 2008. The accompanying album is complete. He describes it as the most important creative work of his career.

"I was created in Argentina. Born in Arkansas. Raised in Portugal. And now I live in Canada. My daughter is from India. My son is half Persian. My wife is Acadian. She speaks to our kids in French. I speak to them in Portuguese. I didn't go looking for the world. The world found me. We're all from the same place."
