His brother Heini is also a musician, they are now both members of The Dreams. Eirikur learned to play the bass when his brother Heini Corfitz Andersen already knew how to play the guitar, he also knows how to play the guitar. Eirikur worked in a nursery earlier.
Eirikur was the bassist in the former Faroese band "Zink" from 2004 to 2005. The band was established in 2003 with four band members: Hans Edward Andreasen, Heini Mortensen, Heðin Egholm Skov and Edmund í Garði. When Heðin left the bandin 2004, Eirikur replaced him as bass player. Eirikur achieved success as did his brother with this band. Only he earned a little more money than Corfitz, so he could travel to Copenhagen. Always he was the funniest with Zink, band that disbanded in 2005, because he, Hans Edward Andreasen and Heini Mortensen decided to travel to Denmark.

Zink only released one album named "Totally Love Songs". And they were the first band ever on the Faroe Islands to record and release a pop-punk record in the Faroe Islands(2003).
After 'Zink' break up (2004) some of the members teamed up to a new band, which they later called "The Dreams". The new band had three band members in the beginning: Hans Edward Andreasen, Heini Mortensen and Eirikur Gilstón Corfitz Andersen.
