Internationally renowned superstar DJ, producer & platinum selling artist, ERICK MORILLO has dominated the global music scene for the past decade. He has remixed everyone from Whitney Houston and Basement Jaxx to Macy Gray and collaborated with the likes of Puff Daddy and The Audio Bullys. He headlines events across the world ranging from the annual Subliminal Sessions parties at the Miami Winter Music Conference, to his coveted residencies at Le Palais in Cannes, Ministry of Sound and Pacha NY of which he is co-owner and his now legendary Subliminal Sessions parties at Pacha Ibiza. He has also been invited to play at the exclusive Chinawhite Rock The Polo Party at the Cartier Polo, The Concert for Diana after-party at Wembley Arena and most recently to an audience of 60,000 at the Creamfields Festival in Argentina.

He founded the now legendary SUBLIMINAL RECORDS empire in 1997 and released his first artist album worldwide in 2004, entitled “My World”. The success of the first single “Break Down The Doors” led to Erick’s debut music video, featuring a cameo by supermodel Naomi Campbell. He has also found commercial success with Reel 2 Real’s hit “I Like To Move It” featured in “Madagascar 1 & 2″.

Raised in Colombia and New Jersey, Erick started DJing at the age of 11 and was soon inducted into the house fraternity through his friend Marc Anthony. He has won numerous prestigious awards along the way such as “Best International DJ 2002″ and “Best House DJ 1999 / 2001″ and is as comfortable behind the camera as he is behind the decks, appearing on MTV UK and as host of MTV Ibiza for two consecutive years in addition to starring in a seven part series for Channel 4.

Spring 2010 is going to be busy for Erick as he launches his new album “Playboy Compilation” as well as his first foray into fashion; a limited edition capsule collection of laptop cases and luggage. The Erick Morillo for knomo collaboration launches exclusively at Selfridges and Apple online.
