Ethan Bortnick

Recognized by the Guinness World Records as “The World’s Youngest Solo Musician to Headline His Own Concert Tour,” 14-year-old Ethan Bortnick has been performing around the world, raising over $30,000,000 for charities across the globe.

His highly successful nationally televised TV show, The Power of Music, has been the number one concert pledge show on PBS for 2014, and is still running nationwide continuously, winning multiple awards. Ethan recently graced Esquire magazine's 80th anniversary cover, was featured in Gap's global celebrity ad campaign, and continues to share the stage with music legends.

Since then, Ethan has helped raise over $30,000,000 for nonprofits around the world. At these charity events, he’s shared the stage with artists such as Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, Beyoncé, Josh Groban and Reba McEntire, among many others. In 2010, he joined some of music’s biggest names – including Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Celine Dion, Carlos Santana, etc.., as the youngest of the all-star lineup that recorded We Are The World 25 For Haiti. During Ethan’s voyage aboard Riviera, a portion of the proceeds of his DVD signings will be donated to one of his charities.

Ethan has also been featured on countless national television shows, including multiple appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Good Morning America and Oprah, where he was named one of Oprah’s All Time Smartest, Most Talented Kids.

Last year, Ethan created and hosted “The Power of Music”– a multiple award winning, critically acclaimed, nationally televised concert special that aired over 1,500 times on Public Television and continues to be the number one Concert Pledge Show since 2014.  Billy Joel's Musical Director, Dave Rosenthal, renowned globally for his work with Billy for over twenty years, is also Ethan's Musical Director and continues to guide Ethan in his musical journey.

As the youngest voting members of the Grammy Awards, he continues to perform around the world and is currently in production with a new National Television show.
