Eric Nolan of the Legendary O’Jays is not only recognized for his contributions to the iconic group but has also showcased his individual talents as an artist. In July of 2014, Nolan released his first solo project, "Mood Swing," making a significant mark in the music industry.
The project's first single, "Reminds Me," quickly became a staple on smooth Jazz stations, particularly on local Jazz station 107.3 FM The WAVE. It soared to #8 on the Urban Adult Contemporary charts, #17 on Sirius XM Radio charts, and gained widespread popularity on platforms like Spotify, IHeart, and Pandora. Furthermore, his fourth single, "#OMW (On My Way)," achieved an impressive feat by reaching #1 four times in a single year on 107.3 The WAVE in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.
"Mood Swing" includes a notable duet with O’Jays singing partner Walter William Sr., marking a new chapter in Nolan’s creative success. His smooth, rich voice has captivated audiences, with the current single, "#IML (In My Life)," steadily climbing the Jazz charts. Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of his sixth single, “Available.”
Eric Nolan's musical journey traces back to 1997 when he performed on his debut O’Jays’ album, ‘Love You To Tears,’ which made its mark on the R&B charts. The O’Jays' 2001 release, "For The Love," topped charts and received a Grammy nomination in 2002. Nolan's diverse talents extend beyond music, as he made his debut in the film industry with a role in "The Fighting Temptations" in September 2003.
Recognizing his remarkable contributions, Eric received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from Shaw University in Raleigh, NC, in 2003. The O’Jays' achievements continued with the release of the album ‘Imagination’ under Beyonce's Dads Music World label in 2004. That same year, the group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and, in 2005, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"For the Love Of Money," one of the O'Jays' iconic tracks, became the theme song for the hit reality TV show “The Apprentice,” and Eric performed it live during the show's season finale. The group's impact extended to notable events like the ESPY Awards in 2006 and the PBS Special ‘Love Train: The Sound Of Philadelphia’ in 2008.
Despite his continued success with the O’Jays, Eric Nolan has explored new avenues in his music career. In 2011, he launched his independent record label, Boy Wonder Records, featuring groups such as GMen, Nehemie & Billy Rich, and Dapper, alongside his solo career. Nolan has also embraced his role as a writer, co-authoring songs for artists like Charlie Wilson, Johnny Gill, ConFunkShun, Tim Bowman feat. Stokley, and SILK.
Eric Nolan's multifaceted career includes a radio presence, with his show on WOVU 95.9 FM in Cleveland for three years. Additionally, in 2022, he ventured into the film industry, establishing a film company, JAE Films, with James Ford.
Nolan's notable television appearances and performances at major events like The Essence Music Festival, The Jamaica Jazz Festival, and The Apollo Theater further solidify his enduring impact on the music industry. Eric Nolan continues to inspire and entertain audiences with his unparalleled talent and dedication to his craft.
