One of Erez's first hit songs was BareNaked by Jennifer Love Hewitt, which he co-wrote with Meredith Brooks.[10] The song made the Billboard Top 40 charts in 2002. This brought attention to Chrysalis Music, who signed him to a publishing deal, adding him to their roster of staff songwriters. During this time period, he also wrote and produced songs with artists including Holly Palmer and P.J. Olsson, garnering him another Billboard Top 40 hit with the Ryan Cabrera single "Shine On" for Atlantic Records.
