Ethan Bortnick began playing the keyboard when he was just three years old. Soon after, at five, he composed his first song. In 2007, he performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and became an instant sensation. At nine years old, Ethan became the youngest performer to ever have a PBS special and by ten years old, he became the youngest headliner to ever play Las Vegas. He also holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s youngest solo musician to headline his own tour and has opened for stars like Nelly Furtado. Ethan, now 17, still travels the world playing for eager audiences.
