Philanthropy
Eric’s work includes two community building charities called DoYouHaveOneDollar.org and GotAHug.com. Eric is the founder of DoYouHaveOneDollar.org, a philanthropic social challenge to see if 1 million New Yorkers can give just one dollar each to help the homeless, poor and hungry of NYC. You can see his work with both of these organizations on the video page of this website.
Singer, Songwriter
You can listen to some of Eric’s original music (co-written with his cousin, Matthew Hageman), on Apple Music, Spotify, GooglePlay, YouTube and more. Just search “Eric Briarley” and his songs, Never Give Up, Find My Way Home, and Beautiful Lover should pop up.
Honored to have been so blessed to be apart of such wonderful productions in his career, Eric would like to thank his Mom (Sharon), his Dad (William), and his Brother (Larry) and the rest of his family for their unconditional love for supporting him in all of his creative endeavors since childhood. However, in Eric’s humble opinion, none of this would be possible without the amazing grace of God.
