Erica Morini was a renowned classical music artist who was born on January 5, 1904, in Vienna, Austria. She was born into a family of musicians, and her father was a violinist who played in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Morini began playing the violin at the age of five, and by the time she was eight, she was already performing in public. Morini's talent was recognized early on, and she was accepted into the Vienna Conservatory at the age of nine. She studied under some of the most prominent violin teachers of the time, including Otakar Ševčík and Carl Flesch.

Morini made her debut as a soloist at the age of eleven, and her performance was met with critical acclaim. She continued to perform throughout Europe, and in 1924, she made her debut in the United States.
