Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. In this episode, we talk with entrepreneur, producer, and arts leader Eric Oberstein — the founder of Eric Oberstein Productions (EOP), a New York City-based artist management and producing company. Eric is a 2x GRAMMY and 2x Latin GRAMMY-winning producer, a dynamic educator, and a curator with deep roots in the creative world.

A saxophonist and drummer of Cuban American heritage, Eric is also a lifelong New York Mets fan. We dive into his journey through the arts, his innovative approach to producing and artist development, and the launch of his new venture in NYC.

In the final part of this inspiring conversation, Eric lends his voice to a heartfelt cause: getting Dwight “Doc” Gooden into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. This growing movement is not just about stats — it’s about legacy, resilience, and honoring greatness.
