Ethan was born in Manchester. He joined the drama and music industry at the age of 5 and quickly managed to be cast in various TV commercials and shows including an advert for a well known washing up liquid brand. Ethan has always had an interest in music specifically and developed singing and learnt to play the piano. So eager to prove himself in music he took his GCSE Music two years early at the age of 14.

After his GCSEs Ethan performed in many lead roles in theatre and drama groups whilst maintaining academic development in Languages and Law. He also started to write his own music and train his singing voice and the thought of being in a boy band started to interest him. Ethan came down from Manchester to audition for the Boy Banned management and was very excited and happy to become a member in Boy Banned.
