Erika Jayne In Concert
Erika Jayne is a woman of many talents. Using her married name, Erika Girardi, she became a full-time cast member on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' starting in the sixth season. Under the moniker Erika Jayne, however, she carries on a thriving acting and music career. She and Gleb Savchenko were partners in 2017 on 'Dancing With the Stars,' which was a high-profile showcase for her powerful, self-confident stage moves. She's also guest-starred on the soap opera 'The Young and the Restless' and hosted red carpets.
That the Atlanta native has carved out such a successful career is the result of hard work and perseverance. Jayne has been open about her challenging childhood, but she overcame her obstacles and pursued her show business dreams by doing musical theater and acting in commercials. Although she moved to New York at age 18, her career didn't fully take flight until she headed to Los Angeles, where she nabbed a guest-starring role on 'Law & Order' and appearances in small films.
Jayne really found her stride once she began pursuing music. Her first three singles 2007's techno-inflected electro-pop jam "Roller Coaster" and the Kylie Minogue-esque "Stars," as well as 2009's disco-inflected "Give You Everything" all reached No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. To date, Jayne has landed nine chart-toppers on the dance charts. Despite her club leanings, Jayne is a versatile performer: 2013's "Get It Tonight" features Flo Rida; 2014's "Painkillr" sizzles with horns; and in 2018, Jayne released the hip-hop-influenced song "Cars," which interpolates sassy lyrics from L'Trimm's "Cars With the Boom."
Her 2018 live concerts dubbed Erika Jayne Presents: The Pretty Mess Tour are giddy, crowd-pleasing celebrations of her vast catalog of hits. They're also a celebration of her 2018 memoir, also titled 'Pretty Mess,' which is both vulnerable and inspiring.
