Erika Jayne's love for music and performing is something that is dear to her, considering the fact that she grew up in a musical household. Erika Jayne, birth name Erika Chahoy, was born on July 10, 1971 in Atlanta, Georgia. She began performing at the age of 3 years old, according to Bravo. She learned about music at an early age from her mother, who was a classically trained pianist.

"You know, one of my special childhood memories is waking up on the weekend and listening to my mother playing downstairs," Erika told AceShowbiz in 2009 (via Bravo). "So, we would have all these beautiful classical music in the house and that was such a wonderful feeling. So, sure. She's been an influence on my musical career."

Although Erika went in the dance-pop direction with her own music, she cites artists such as Prince, Madonna, and Michael Jackson as her musical influences. Specifically, the reality star says Prince had a profound impact on her sound. "I've always loved the erotic quality of Prince," she said. "I just think he's a musical genius and I've always admired everything that he's done."
