Eric Dill

Eric Murnan Dill (born February 10, 1981) is an American singer and songwriter. He is best known as the lead singer for the band The Click Five. He left the group in 2007 to pursue a solo career. Additionally, he has worked with and contributed songwriting for artists such as Daughtry and Chad Kroeger.

Early life Dill was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. He is the son of Greg Dill and Sheryl Murnan Dill. He attended Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School and Purdue University. His father owns Allied Automation, an industrial distributor and engineering company, which Dill was interested in joining, before pursuing a career in music.

Career He became the lead singer of the pop-rock group The Click Five. In the summer of 2003, Dill received a call from Zehr, who he stayed in contact with while Zehr was attending Berklee School of Music, and asked if he wanted to join the band. After flying out to Boston and getting to know the rest of the members, Dill officially joined the group in 2004. On November 20, 2006, Dill left the group which wasn't officially announced until March 2007. He left the band soon after filming the movie Taking Five with the band and left to focus on his solo music career. He also left due to musical differences with other members of the band. According to Dill, Chad Kroeger was in the studio with the band and came across Dill's demo. He envisioned a heavier sound for the song and called up Dill to Vancouver to re-work the song. He released a music video to the song "Leaving You Lonely" on December 2, 2010. In 2012, Dill released his first collection of four songs titled Wherever You Are. With record producer Matt Radosevich and mastering by Eric Valentine, the sound was created to capture and add the distinct flavor of Dill's delivery of style. He also released a music video for the title track. In support of his solo music, he performed a show at The Viper Room in April.

Dill's first and only full-length studio album, Forever Is Not Enough, was released on November 20, 2012. It featured 13 original songs. He released the album independently instead of through a major record label as originally intended, and speaking about if he would ever sign to a label ever again, Dill stated, "Nope... never. What I would do is, I would work with them to distribute my record. I would never sign my life away to people who care nothing about music, and care nothing about me." "War With the Wolves" was the first single released from the album. He released a music video for the single and was featured on mtvU. "In My Head", another single from the album, was released to radio on January 14, 2013.

Achievements Dill was a recipient at the 2010 BMI Pop Awards for Award-Winning Songs for "No Surprise".

Personal life In 2007, Dill moved to Los Angeles. In late 2012, Dill relocated from Hollywood to his native Indianapolis. He dated Lucy Walsh.
