Eric Hutchinson (born September 8, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter. He signed with Madonna's Maverick Records, but the label shut down before his album was released.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=February 26, 2009 )〕 Hutchinson recorded and released the album ''Sounds Like This'' on his own. The album won praise from gossip blogger Perez Hilton, which sent it to the top ten on the iTunes Store, where it peaked at number five in September 2007 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. The album was picked up by Warner Bros. Records, who released it in May 2008. ==Biography== Born in Washington, D.C., Hutchinson grew up in Takoma Park, Maryland, attended the Communication Arts Program at Montgomery Blair High School, and went to Emerson College in Boston, where he lived for about four years before moving to Los Angeles. Hutchinson began playing guitar around 1995, and later added piano to his repertoire. When on acoustic guitar, he plays with exuberance, often laying down percussive hand slaps on the strings. He says he "should've taken more guitar lessons," but was always "more interested in playing and singing songs I knew and liked better than Hot Cross Buns out of a workbook."〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=February 26, 2007 )〕 As of February 2007, he resides in New York City. On September 15, 2008, Hutchinson performed "Rock and Roll" on ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'', ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'', ''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson'' and ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien''.

In addition, "Rock and Roll" reached #9 on the ARIA Australian Singles Chart and has been certified Platinum in Australia. "Rock and Roll" has also reached Gold in New Zealand, the U. S. and Norway. Before his opening date in New York on the Kelly Clarkson tour, Hutchinson was interviewed by Broken Records Magazine (BRM). Eric told BRM that "he just wants to write stuff he will enjoy playing. It's all about songwriting." He goes on to mention that Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello and the Beatles were all primary influences on his style of music writing.
