Who are The EriAm Sisters?
The music's newest darling, Haben Abraham (11), makes up 1/3 of the progressively POPular
new group EriAm, the other 2/3's are none other than her equally talented and beautiful
sisters Salina (13) and Lianda (15). "EriAm" stands for Eritrean-American; the talented and
diverse trio wanted a name that would highlight the uniqueness of their cultural makeup and
international aspect of their journey.
The EriAm sisters come from a musically diverse family. Their father, Mulugheta Abraham, is
an engineer for the Boeing Company and plays various instruments. Their mother, Tiblets
Abraham also loves music and dancing. Both parents come from Eritrea, a small country on
the eastern coast of Africa bordering Ethiopia and Sudan. In 1983, they moved to Holland
where her two sisters, Lianda and Salina were born. In 1996, they moved to the US where
Haben was born a year later.
Since the age of 2, the sisters have been belting out songs in more than one language (they
sang in English, Dutch, and their native Tigrinia). It wasn’t until Haben was 7 that her musical
gifts were noticed by her music teacher. She was a brilliant singer and actor and performed with
no outside pressure. A star was born! Haben is much like any normal young girl. She loves to
ice skate, swim, take jazz dance lessons, and is a seasoned artist. Beyond all that, Haben
possesses a voice that is so controlled and mature… you would think your ears were playing
tricks on your eyes.
Haben and her sisters have shared their talent with audiences across the West Coast. They
wow crowds with their stage presence and extraordinary performances. Haben is very happy
that her sisters share the same musical talents as she. “My sisters are the key to my success,”
says Haben. “We work perfectly together and have even gave nicknames for each other,
I am the VISION, Lianda is the COMPASSION and Salina is the DETERMINATION”. Haben and her sisters are diligent, they
write their songs and choreograph their moves meticulously. The sisters are working on their first project with some of the
most respected producers like, Andrew Lane (High School Musical), John Silva, Kevin Gardner (E-40), Nicholas Cooper and
DJ Freestyle who is the official DJ of Timbaland and Justin Timberlake.
“We want to be the next Destiny Child”, proclaims Seattle’s little darling. Big shoes to fill for
anyone, but Haben and her sisters are determined and on the right track. Their confidence
level and natural desire to sing is such that they share their gift for anyone who wants to enjoy
their voice! Their organic enthusiasm has prompted the parents to allow the sisters to perform
at concerts, talent shows, stadiums, festivals and corporate fundraising events to pursue their
dream of becoming professional singers. EriAm’s fan-base is rapidly growing and has viewed
their recorded performances and profile over 1,000,000 times on the popular YouTube.com
and Myspace.com websites.
Although the big voices of the little ladies readily takes on the challenging works of mega
divas such as; Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Beyonce, they are extremely humble and
eager to learn! One thing is certain; the EriAm Sisters have begun to soar and are destined to
bling.
Their family stands fully behind their desire to excel in the entertainment industry. At the same
time, they want to make sure they provide all the ingredients that the girls need to become
good citizens and well rounded young ladies!
