Originally from Orlando and Gainesville, FL and currently based in Nashville, TN, Giselle and Erik are a husband-and-wife folk jazz duo. Each of them songwriters, Giselle and Erik offer their audiences a collection of original music that pairs Giselle’s warm, lyrical voice and mellow piano with the sweet sounds of Erik’s jazz and classical guitar. With raw emotion and evocative poetry, the duo sings about everyday life, healing, and a world underpinned by love.
Giselle and Erik’s debut EP, “Healing,” (2023) reflected on their experiences through Erik’s second open heart surgery and life with congenital heart disease, garnering partnerships with the Adult Congenital Heart Association and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. In 2025, the duo released their sophomore EP, “Morning Brew.”
Stepping boldly into their new Nashville footprint, Giselle and Erik were named 2024 Tennessee Songwriters Week semi- finalists, performed in Nashville’s inaugural 615 Indie Live music festival in 2025, and served as songwriters for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum programming. Starting 2026 strong, they performed at the “For Pete’s Sake” benefit, which included Vince Gill, John Oates, Suzy Bogguss, Guthrie Trapp, and more.
Prior to joining the Nashville circuit, the duo spent nearly five months entertaining for the Walt Disney Company, hosted on the The Disney Dream cruise ship. In back-to-back years, the duo was recognized by the international DownBeat Student Music Awards for their work in the Vocal Arrangement and Latin Group performance categories at the graduate level.
