The day Ethan heard Stevie Wonder's Superstition, he became obsessed with music in general and keyboards in particular, and enrolled for lessons at the Adalita Music School within a week. Ethan spent hours practising on his grandmother's piano and wrote his first songs aged 12.  He has played music with childhood friend Endy Moin since they were both 13 years old, and together they toured most of Los Angeles's bar small music venues with their student band during their two years at UCLA.

As SkyDusters' principal songwriter, Ethan takes inspiration from his beloved California coast, classic tracks from Supertramp to Jean-Michel Jarre, and human interractions. Ethan's shelves grow heavy with the numerous songwriter awards he has been accumulating since Skydusters' debut album.

Ethan is a passionate surfer and advocate for clean oceans. He has a huge soft spot for yacht rock, but does not own a captain's hat.
