Eric Dill

Dill has collaborated with Nickelback front man Chad Kroger and American Idol star Chris Daughtry to produce and write Daughtry’s hit single “No Surprise.” Dill received his 1st Platinum Album Award in 2009 for his work on “No Surprise” as well as to two BMI Pop Awards in 2010, for song writing and publishing.

Dill was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, the son Greg and Sheryl Dill, who met while students at the West Lafayette campus. His parents own Allied Automation, an industrial distribution and engineering company in Indianapolis, and Dill worked there during summer vacations. His first attempts at a singing career was his first band which he started in high school in 1996 at Brebeuf Jesuit, called Panagia, which played together throughout high school and included friend Joey Zehr, who now is one of Dill’s Click Five band mates. Dill was the lead singer and Zehr was the drummer. Dill was interested in the family business, so he went to Purdue to pursue his education in industrial technology. Read Less

Wherever You Are, features four tracks and incorporates Dill’s unique style, experiences and personal views on the world. Dill stated, “It was a priority to me to get this record done right... If I die tomorrow, I’ve got to have something that speaks to what I love about music.”

The title track illustrates the beauty of romance and always wanting to be with that special someone. When speaking about the single Dill stated, "It is based off of the idea that we are both together and then apart, but wherever you are in the world is where I want to be. It’s just a really intense feeling and great lead song.”

“I Will Come Back For You” off of his debut EP was inspired by a battlefield scene of a fallen comrade. Dill said the theme of the song takes a different route and has a heavier tone with an overlying message of compassion and honor for a fallen soldier expressed through the anguish of a comrade at his side. Dill stated, “We at home can’t understand the raw human courage, emotion and sacrifice of our soldiers on the battlefields around the world while they protect our safety and freedom.” Read Less
