Eric Bellinger

Contemporary R&B songwriter and singer Eric Bellinger is the grandson of Bobby Day, a musician most well-known for the 1958 number two hit 'Rockin' Robin.' Bellinger started as a running back on his high school football team and was offered a scholarship to play for and attend the University of Southern California. Around the same time, Epic label presented him with a recording contract. Bellinger opted to go with music, but his career advanced more as a songwriter than an artist. From 2009 through 2013, he co-wrote dozens of songs for high-profile artists, including two cuts on Chris Brown's Grammy-winning F.A.M.E., Brandy's 'Without You,' and Justin Bieber's 'Right Here.'

Bellinger began songwriting in 2010, and his co-writing credits including 'Lemme See' by Usher, 'New Flame' by Chris Brown, 'You Don't Know' by Tank, 'Right Here' by Justin Bieber, and 'Disrespectful' by Trey Songz. In 2011, Bellinger won a Grammy in the category of Best R&B Album for contribution to Chris Brown's album F.A.M.E. In 2014, Bellinger released his debut studio album, The Rebirth, and released the extended plays Eric B for President: Term 1 in 2016, and Eric B for President: Term 2 in 2017.
