Erik Blicker
Erik Blicker is an American musician, composer, audio engineer and entrepreneur. He is a founding partner of Flavorlab; a full-service sound studio headquartered in New York City (Manhattan), where he continues to score and lead complete audio packages for all sectors of the entertainment industry.
Early Life
Erik Blicker was born on November 7, 1964, in New Haven, Connecticut. He’s one of four children of Fred and Jeanne Blicker. At a young age, Erik was encouraged to explore the world of music and quickly became hooked on recording and learning the guitar. At the age of 14 Blicker started guitar lessons with Jim Shepley, a blues and rock musician who grew up with Duane Allman and is credited with inspiring the iconic Allman Brothers Band.

in 1997, Erik met Glenn Schloss; they quickly partnered up to form G&E Music and landed a gig scoring a VH1 show 100 Greatest Artists of Rock & Roll starring Kevin Bacon as the host. The show was short lived but the duo rolled through score after score across a variety of entertainment networks.
Working together on History Channel’s Extreme History with Roger Daltrey, Blicker and Schloss composed the show’s theme as all as mood music, completing music for more than 200 original track[1] (additional credit: Music Supervision Book) and creating an exclusive Extreme History Library for the show to choose cuts from. On a show by show basis, Blicker and Schloss would create the score / music based off of a description, mood or vibe the producers were looking for, vs. based off of picture which is more standard. The theme song and score combines acoustic strums and pics with electronic grooves and beat box hits. The producers were ecstatic “These guys got dirty, which is what the show was all about. We hear from a lot of people who dig the show and rave about the music!”[2]
Continuing the collaboration Blicker spearheaded the team in creating three albums of baseball highlight music dropping a heavy dose of Rock on ESPN’s flagship show SportsCenter. ESPN caught a sample arena rock anthem and hired G&E music to create an album's worth of big orchestral hard rock music. The ten-song library scores the sports story arc “the building tension of the pre-game, the kick-off and chase, the close competition and buzzer-beater victory, the sweeping defeat...it's all there, in revving Metallica-esque guitars and pounding drums filled out with orchestral strings and horns, and symphonic choirs.” Blicker was specifically notes for rocking on the guitar, laying a foundation for the songs in spontaneous jam sessions. “From the up-tempo "Rise Up" with its wailing guitar to the determined-from-the-start "I Won't Let You Score," the G&E hard rock library puts ESPN in a whole lot of moody metal.”[3]
