About

Erika Wolf Orbison is a Malibu-born singer-songwriter whose music blends bluesy soul, vintage crooners, and modern melancholy. Known for her emotionally rich voice and heart-heavy ballads that feel both intimate and cathartic, Erika returns to the stage after years as a background vocalist — including touring with outlaw country artist Nikki Lane opening for acts like Social Distortion, Chris Stapleton, and Lana Del Rey, and earning a platinum record for her vocal arrangements and background vocals on Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s “Unchained Melody” in 2019.

Raised in coastal California’s music scene and seasoned in NYC jazz clubs, Erika’s sound draws from Billie Holiday, Carole King, and Etta James — nostalgic yet entirely her own. After a long hiatus from the center stage, she’s back with her solo debut and a full album of raw, soulful songs set for release in the coming year.
