Named one of Austin's Top 4 Unsigned Artists, Erin Ivey has been featured as the voice of Apple Computer, her music has been used in Red Bull Energy Drink promotions, and she works with independent music producers worldwide.

After years of doing hard time in various cubicles, Erin was one of just ten musicians selected by Red Bull to attend a week-long production workshop in Dallas in 2005. That culminated in her first self-produced track, which went on to become the Top Download at Austin Online Music. Motivated by that experience, Erin relocated to the Midwest for a year in 2006 to focus on writing and recording demos. She began to build a strong fan-base and hopes to never again inhabit a cubicle.

In 2006, Erin was selected from a catalogue of nearly 400 artists to become the first Artist-in-Residence at Rumblefish, a music branding firm in Portland, Oregon. There she recorded her debut full-length album, The 11th Floor, in February 2007.

In September 2007, The Recording Conservatory of Austin named Erin Ivey one of the city's Top 4 Unsigned Artists. She and her guitar have performed for audiences nationwide.
