Eric Sheridan Prydz (/ˈprɪdz/; born July 19, 1976), also known by his aliases Pryda /ˈpraɪ.də/ and Cirez D,/ˈsaɪ.rɛz.diː/ is a Swedish DJ, record producer & musician residing in Los Angeles, California.

Prydz is perhaps best known for his 2004 hit single "Call on Me", which samples the Steve Winwood hit "Valerie". It topped the UK singles chart for five weeks and was number one on the German Top 100 for six consecutive weeks. Although this track made him immensely popular, Prydz has stopped playing it in his shows in an attempt to distance himself from it. In some respects he has succeeded, and with his newer songs, Prydz has gained recognition from both underground and mainstream fans. In 2006, he released a remixed version of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2", titled "Proper Education", with a video.

In 2008, Prydz released the critically acclaimed single "Pjanoo" which topped the UK Dance Chart.
