Hi! I’m Ethan, a 15-year-old performer from Grand Rapids, Michigan, who lives between Michigan and New York City. I am a junior (I could graduate next year for the right opportunity!) and am a straight-A student who just finished AP Calc. I also study at the Manhattan School of Music Precollege Voice program. I participated in Songbook Academy and a Cabaret Intensive at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre this summer.
I am fluent in Spanish, quick at picking up other languages, and an advanced pop/jazz piano player. I have danced with Joffrey Ballet School and am currently dancing at Dance Molinari. I am also a huge Elton John fan, a hedgehog owner, and the youngest in a blended family of 11 kids.
Favorite credits include:
Lawrence (keyboard player) in the regional professional premiere of School of Rock at Tuacahn (AEA)
The Last Boy – Off-Broadway & Town Hall NYC
Truchbull in Matilda Jr. with Broadway Workshop
Workshop of Safe Travels….a Jukebox Jukebox Musical – featuring music by Jukebox the Ghost
Fritz in Nutcracker with Joffrey Ballet School.
Film credits include Miracle On Christmas (Amazon streaming), episodes of Evil Lives Here and Ghost Adventures, and several short films.
Voice teachers are Chris York (2019-present) and Giuseppe Spolentini (2023-present).
I am also neurodivergent (gifted + autism spectrum).
