Singer-songwriter Eric Dill, best known for his work as the first lead vocalist of power-pop group The Click Five, was born in Indianapolis in 1981. In 2004, he joined TC5 after an invitation by the group’s drummer, Joey Zehr, with whom he’d gone to high school. The group was soon signed by Atlantic Records.

The group’s debut album, Greetings from Imrie House, was released in 2005; that same year, the group released “Just the Girl,” the record’s lead single, and ultimately a gold-selling top 15 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Follow-up single “Catch Your Wave” also attained modest success on the pop charts, although subsequent singles were generally unsuccessful.

In 2007, Dill departed the group shortly before the recording of their follow-up album; he was succeeded by Kyle Patrick. That year, Dill also co-wrote “No Surprise,” a song which was ultimately recorded by Daughtry and became another top 15 hit on the Hot 100.

Dill made his solo debut in 2012 with the release of his arena rock-inspired EP, Wherever You Are. Later that year, he released his first studio album, Forever Is Not Enough.
