Eric Potter (born Eric Karl Potter-Benz) is a musician living in Melbourne, VIC.

Early Life
His parents divorced when he was 8 years old and his mother has remarried since then. His father started studying religious studies by correspondance at Avondale College in Sydney, NSW. He has said that "I've wanted to become a musician ever since i picked up a pair of drum sticks when i was 8", he goes on to say, "at the start it was just to drown out the noise of my parents fighting but when I started to get some rhythm and started listening to my favourite music while playing drums I would vary up the fill ins and add some solo's etc."

Influences
His father was the main influence in his life when it came to music. He would teach him sticking excercises and whatnot but when he had gotten good at thoses he would try to find more songs and excercises to play along to on the internet. When his uncle came to visit he would teach him new things and try to get him interested in guitar.

Early Musical Life
When he went to enrol in highschool at Lilydale Adventist Academy (L.A.A) he noticed there was a station labelled 'music' so he asked his dad to enrol him in guitar lessons. He stuck with guitar for a semester and then quit because he wasn't learning much about the chords and the notes. A few weeks after that, he started looking for bass tabs on the internet and got into bass. About a year later his father bought him a bass guitar for his birthday. Since then he has written many melodies but because he can't sing he has begun his search for a singer. He has recorded some instrumental tracks and is currently recoridng his first album titled 'Evelyn', due to be released early 2010
