Feel the Beat 2015: Ethan Bortnick

Oct 6, 2015 | Suzanne Ferguson | @suzannerferguson

You may have already heard of 14-year-old Ethan Bortnick as he’s been captivating national audiences since his television debut on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno back in 2007. Since then, Ethan has continued to make television appearances and headline concerts throughout the country. In addition to his amazing piano skills, he’s also a driven humanitarian who has helped raise over $30 million for non-profits around the world. One of Ethan’s most popular songs, “Anything is Possible,” was written for his best friend and brother, Nathan, who has HLHS.
