Erica began studying singing and guitar at an early age and made a name for herself by winning numerous awards at a very young age. With the song "Nella Vasca da Bagno Del Tempo," Erica participated in the 2012 Sanremo Music Festival in the Sanremo Social section, dedicated to young artists, garnering widespread acclaim from the press, which awarded her two notable accolades: the Premio Mia Martini critics' award and the Premio Sala Stampa Radio Tv.

Her debut novel, Thirsty Sea, was published in spring 2022 in the UK, translated by Clarissa Botsford for Héloïse Press.

During the same period, she was a guest at the Procida Racconta literary festival directed by Chiara Gamberale, during which she wrote the moving story "Il figlio dell'isola" (The son of the island), published by Nutrimenti and the weekly magazine F.
