Erik Ramos-Santos, (born October 10, 1982 in Malabon, Philippines) is a Filipino singer and the winner of the ABS-CBN program Star In A Million in January 2004. Early life and career Erik's passion for singing started when he was still a kid in Malabon. Erik participated in numerous small-town singing competitions. Erik became the wildcard entry to the Final 10 of Star in a Million. He had a good start in the contest but got eliminated during the third week of competitions, when it was still a part of the Sunday noontime variety show ASAP. Nevertheless, his second chance came and his rendition of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", won him the 10th and final slot for the semi-finals round. Eventually he became one of the three grand finalists in the showdown for the title of Star in a Million. "This is the Moment", a song from the musical Jekyll and Hyde, popularized by Martin Nievera, won him the title.
