Erica “Psalt-E” Webber is a singer/songwriter who was born in Fort Hood
Texas. When she was 4 years of age her family relocated to Rochester, NY where
she would spend the next decade and a half. In her senior year of high school
her family relocated again to Syracuse, NY where she currently resides. The
name Psalt-E (pronounced “SALT-E”) is a play on words being that Psalt-E
is a "psalmist whose name starts with an "E". The name also
includes a deep spiritual influence coming from the scripture Matthew 5:13
which talks about being the salt of the earth. Psalt-e the artist celebrates
her "psaltiness" as paying homage to God for preserving such a unique
flavor that she almost gave away trying to fit into conformity of the standards
of this world. Psalt-E found her true flavor and spends every day as a living
testimony living this truth as transparently as possible.
Psalt-E's musical background includes classical training as she has studied
with Patricia Alexander (mother of world-renowned opera singer Renee Fleming)
at the Eastman school of music as well as a master class with counter tenor
Darryl Taylor. Her mother, a keyboardist and anointed worship leader, also
played a major role in the musical and spiritual side that Psalt-E possesses.
She helped to instill a pure and true heart for intimate worship with God.
Psalt-E has also been a part of several local ministries and groups including
the gospel ensemble Jamel Jett and Breakthrough as well as Neo soul/R&B
cover band Anomalous People. Her ability to participate in these different
musical arenas prove Psalt-E to be a well-balanced vocalist who is familiar
with many genres and styles. She credits some of her biggest musical influences
to be Cece Winans, Tonéx and Christon Gray to name a few.
In October of 2016 Psalt-E released her very first single "don't count
me out" #DCMO, the first single off of her upcoming debut album entitled
"Altar Ego". Psalt-E's music can basically be described as what she
likes to call "underdog music". Her sound looks to incorporate all of
her music stylings into a message that promotes inclusion for all. Whether
churched, de-churched, or unchurched. Saved, or unsaved, Psalt-E's music offers
her spin on life's situations and offers genuine understanding as well as
encouragement to the person that may be dealing with something or the person
who is in a good place in life. Psalt-E hopes to inspire the world with her
music and convey the beauty in loving yourself just the way you were created to
be while knowing there is someone that will love you unconditionally no matter
how imperfect you are. Be you, ‘cause if you aren’t, who will be?
