He has parlayed his initial success as a teen-age regular on the show into a four-decade career that includes the 2017 club hit, “Right Time" and the 2010 club hit "Breathe". At the tender age of 16, Redd had become a regular on Soul Train, sharing the stage ... with people such as Rosie Perez, Miki Howard and some of the future members of Shalamar. From these early beginnings with the help of Don Cornelius, Eric was thrust into the high powered world of professional dance. One of the first black ballet dancers to grace Europe, he danced the classics with Ballet de Marsellise, Royal Winnipeg Ballet (Canada) and the Hamburg Ballet. He went on from there to London’s West End, starring in such hits as Cats, Starlight Express and My one and Only. It was there, that Redd turned increasingly to singing, landing a contract on Jive Records UK and releasing a club-friendly cover of Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave a Lover.” After two years with Jive Records, Redd, who realized the label was more into Rap moved onto writing, singing backgrounds and being an opening act for artists like Ani DiFranco, Sara Lee (of the B-52’s), the Pointer Sisters and KD Lang. In 2008, he completed his first full-length Dance album, Across the Water, for German label, White Noise.

While touring Redd caught the ear of Dance Music honcho, Rod Carrillo. With this meeting, Redd’s first foray into classic rock was also complemented by his return to club music.
