Eric Sheridan Prydz (born July 19, 1976) is a Swedish DJ and producer based in Los Angeles, California. The pronunciation of his surname is often questioned; it is pronounced "prids" (/'pr?dz/), but when under his alias, Pryda, it is pronounced "pride-ah". In October 2012, DJ Magazine announced the results of their annual Top 100 DJ Poll, where Prydz placed at #52.
Personal life edit:
Aside from producing music Prydz also runs the record labels Pryda, Pryda Friends and Mouseville, which release most of his own music. On Pryda, he releases music as Pryda. On Mouseville, he produces under Cirez D. Until recently, Eric had only played shows in and around Europe as he has a fear of flying. Also in December 2008, Prydz was forced to cancel several dates in Australia, New Zealand and Malta after panic attacks prevented him from boarding the outbound flight.
On Armin van Buuren's radio show "A State of Trance" in February 2011, it was announced that Prydz had recently become a father.
