The precocious pianist was invited to perform at a Music in Lanark event six years later where he also debuted his first major composition work – a springboard moment that has propelled him on to achieve incredible success.
His potential was recognised by the BBC which aired a radio documentary focusing on the freedom a blind child can experience through working with renowned teacher Daniel Kish.
Since turning 12, Ethan has claimed victory in the Scottish International Youth Piano Competition; received the Premio Asoluto prize at the 15th International Giuseppe Sciacca Awards in Rome; won the 7th James Waterhouse Loretto Piano Competition; and been named as a finalist in the EPTA Belgium International Piano Competition.
