ERIC YBAÑEZ is a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter whose music bridges the sacred and the sonic, the personal and the eternal. With a sound forged in the fires of AOR, Melodic Metal, Hard Rock, and the blazing precision of shred guitars, Ybañez creates songs that are as emotionally raw as they are spiritually resonant — melodies that scream from the soul and solos that shred through the silence.

Born in Cebu City, Philippines, and now based in Brisbane, Australia, Eric began performing at just eight years old in his father’s band before moving to Australia in his teens. After decades away raising a family and serving as a registered nurse, Eric has returned with a mission and a message: to stir hearts, awaken spirits, and ignite faith through the power of music.

While Eric Ybañez is an evangelical Christian, his songs are not confined to one theme or audience. His music reaches across belief systems, exploring everything from faith, spiritual warfare, and redemption to love, brokenness, and resilience. Whether it’s the passionate anthem “Because Of Love,” the fiery warning of “Don’t Play With Fire,” or the uplifting message in “Trust In You,” his voice carries a message — and the shred‑infused guitar work delivers it with force.

Eric’s debut album Because Of Love is out now — but with a unique twist. Over the next 12 months, he will release one song every 6–8 weeks on Spotify to give each track the chance to shine and be considered for editorial playlisting. At the same time, the full album is available on other digital platforms and on CD for fans who want the complete experience right away.

Support Eric’s music by streaming, downloading, and grabbing official merch. Your support matters — because the louder the demand from your city, the closer Eric gets to bringing his high-energy, visually explosive live show to your stage.

This is more than music. This is melodic metal with heart, faith, and fire.
