Hi, I'm Erika May, but you can call me EMay. Most of my friends do! Welcome to my web page. By clicking the links above, you can find out more about who I am and what I do. I am an avid performer and teacher, feel free to contact me about lessons, upcoming performances, or how to book me.
If you're looking for a quick summary, I am a singing, bellydancing, fire-spinning multi-instrumentalist (or PERFORMANCE ARTIST), as well as a painter, photographer, videographer (or VISUAL ARTIST). I am a fully insured performance artist (that means I can fire-dance at *your* place with no stress on your behalf!) who has performed all over the eastern side of the US, from Boston to Athens. Also a writer, I recently revamped my blog and am working towards a comprehensive Pittsburgh music magazine focused on highlighting the best of what is born of and visiting this city. As I often can be found running a sound board, producing events, or hanging in the crowd, you may run into me nearly anywhere in Pittsburgh.
As you may have guessed, I'm living in the one-and-only Pittsburgh, PA, which I love for the honest and hard-working people, the city's diverse histories and ethnic neighborhoods, and the PARKS. I have a big dog named Poppa Dukes and am an avid cyclist, so the rails-to-trails project as well as the gorgeous and expansive inner-city parks were one of the main reasons I base myself here (not to mention the beautiful rivers, the cheap cost of living, the cute neighborhoods, the central location to everywhere I travel regularly, great community and college radio stations, and its push to go "green", and the great views you can get from atop any hill). The list of praise I have for this city is endless - come visit to see for yourself!
