Eric Sheridan Prydz (born July 19, 1976) is a Swedish DJ and producer based in London, United Kingdom. The pronunciation of his surname is often questioned; it is pronounced "prids", but when under his alias, Pryda, it is pronounced "pride-ah".[1] In October 2011, DJ Magazine announced the results of their annual Top 100 DJ Poll, where Prydz placed at #46.[2]

[edit] Personal life
Until recently, Prydz had only played shows in and around Europe as he has a fear of flying. In December 2008, Prydz was forced to cancel several dates in Australia, New Zealand and Malta after panic attacks prevented him from boarding the outbound flight.[3][4]
On Armin van Buuren's radio show "A State of Trance" in February 2011, it was announced that Prydz recently became a father.
[edit] "E.P.I.C." Event
His debut live show called "EPIC" (Eric Prydz in Concert) was held on April 2nd, 2011 at the O2 Brixton Academy Arena in London where he played most of his own production, as well as unfinished and upcoming tracks. The second show was at Global Gathering on July 29th and the third at the Alexandra Palace on November 26th.

[edit] Albums
Since 2005, Prydz has been working on an artist album.[5] The first version of the album was originally planned for release in 2007, but after complications with the record label, he decided to cancel the release. In late 2009, Prydz told followers on his Facebook and Twitter accounts that his album had been completed under the Pryda recordings. On April 14th 2012 Ministry of Sound Club in London will host the launch of the Eric Prydz album.
