"Erica Ehm", is the stage name of Erica Miechowsky (born September 30, 1961, Montreal, Quebec). She is best known as a pioneering video jockey at the Canadian cable television station MuchMusic. She began her television career by contributing to Musi-Video, a local rock and video show produced in Montreal. She graduated with a BA in Communications from the University of Ottawa,
Ehm left MuchMusic after 10 years to concentrate on her songwriting career. Since then, she has returned periodically to television, hosting or appearing in shows including Yummy Mummy on Life Network and Discovery Health in the U.S. among other countries, Popstars - The One (Global), Real Life with Erica Ehm (Life Network), Power Play (Discovery Channel Canada), The Company (TVOntario), Nestlé Baby and You (Rogers Cable) and Science: From A to Ehm.[citation needed]

She has written three stage musicals for the family market. After her first play, Caillou's Big Party, sold out in theatres across North America, she was commissioned to write two other shows, The Big Comfy Couch and Caillou's Big Book Club.[citation needed]
Ehm has written songs which have been recorded by, among others, Van Morrison, Tim Thorney, Cassandra Vasik and Tom Jackson. She has won three Canadian Country Music Awards and three SOCAN Awards. She co-wrote the theme song for the animated film and series Pippi Longstocking. Her song "Love Me Even More" was chosen as the theme for the feature film Some Things That Stay. She had a modest acting career, appearing in Alfred Hitchcock Presents as a secretary, RoboCop: The Series as television news anchor Rocky Crenshaw, as "Benita" in a stage play version of Brad Fraser's Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love, as a madam in Replikator and as Vicky in Jigsaw.[citation needed]
