Eric Bellinger, Jr. (born March 28, 1986) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer and engineer.
He was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He is the grandson of Jackson 5 songwriter, Bobby Day. Being the captain of his high school football team, Eric was offered a scholarship to pursue a football career at the University of Southern California or to follow his passion in music.
Not long after turning down USC, Bellinger joined the R&B group AKNU (A Kind Never Understood) and was soon signed to Epic Records by two successful executives, Max Gousse and Tommy Mottola.
After experiencing success recording and touring with AKNU, Eric returned home to work on new music and discovered another passion, songwriting. The exceptionally gifted singer and rapper mastered his natural ability to instantly hear melody and rhythm under the guidance of childhood friend and mentor Erika Nuri of The Writing Camp.
Signing a publishing deal with Sony ATV, Eric soon became famous working with major R&B and pop artists such as Chris Brown ("Fine China"), Usher ("Lemme See" featuring Rick Ross), Selena Gomez ("Intuition"), Justin Bieber ("Right Here" featuring Drake) and many more. Also, he has won awards for "Lemme See" such as ASCAP, BMI and iTunes while achieving several Grammies for his contributions to Chris Brown's album, F.A.M.E..
