Ethan was born in 2004 and diagnosed completely blind since birth. As a toddler, he would explore the piano for hours imitating his first inspiration, Rowlf the piano-playing dog from the Muppet Show. His other inspiration, "Horowitz in Vienna", he played relentlessly on DVD. His formal piano lessons began at the age of four with his mother, he now studies with Fali Pavri (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland). In his spare time, Ethan can be found in his music room composing and improvising for hours and hours.
