As a 10 year old kid from The Land Of The Long White Cloud, Ethan James (ethan2rock) makes his mark on the world music stage, by taking to the streets of a beach-side suburb in the north east of Auckland, New Zealand. As any superstar musician will tell you, there is always the hard yards to do, before making it to the big time.
Ethan is no stranger to the hard times! This is what makes him even more special. The raw emotion contained in this now 12 year old from New Zealand is pure, unadulterated and so easy to relate to, as a 10 year old and as a 90 year old. Some of the lyrics and statements in his many original hits, are so powerful that even the hardest of us can sit there and say, "man I have been there!"

“OK. Can someone here say child prodigy? I CAN! Whoa, knock my socks off, Ethan. Never thought I'd see someone as young as you play better than Ricky Lawler, but you're gonna give that guy a run for his money. Rock it, Babe.”
