Ethan Bortnick is a classically trained pianist and songwriter who first discovered hisphenomenal musical talent at age three—replicating Mozart on his keyboard due to his perfectpitch and composing two years later. The Florida-based musician appeared on multiple nationaland international television shows including Oprah and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, whichled to claiming a Guinness World Record aged nine as the youngest-ever person to headline asolo concert tour and raising over $50 million for charities across almost 1000 headlined shows.The pandemic eventually became necessary to distinguish his future from his past and to definethe artist he wanted to become, as he soon found his way to the sound he’d long been reachingfor: a boldly original and piano-driven take on alternative, pop, and indie music, exquisitelycomposed but rich in raw emotion.TikTok was an invaluablesounding board for Bortnick,manufacturing the communal feel he fell in love with on tour. The reaction to “cut my fingers off”was overwhelming, and the reception of August’s thumping, explosive single “engravings”proved it wasn’t a fluke, garnering Ethan 4.5 million new followers on TikTok. Both songsaccumulated more than 58 million US streams, and both landed on multiple viral Spotify charts.In 2023, Ethan is set to release even more music and looks towards finally returning to thestage for a spring/summer headlined tour and festival appearances.
