Meet Ethan Ricks!
Taken by music and creativity from a young age, I’ve been fortunate to be a professional touring, gigging and studio musician for over 20 years. Music has brought me on stage at some of the biggest festivals in the world, to the corner of tiny bowling alleys…sometimes in the same weekend.
Why I Became A Musician
Music on the radio in the mid 90s and my parent’s record collection - plus the idea of being in a band.
My Memorable Musical Experience
Hard to pick just one. Getting the call is always a great moment - the fact that someone trusts me with their music on a record or gig, or to be their instructor, never gets old to me.
A fun fact about me is...
I’m something of a unicorn in that I’m a native Charlottean!
My advice to someone starting to learn music is...
Follow what really grabs you, be patient with yourself and be persistent. This is a journey that can last a lifetime, which can be amazing and intimidating at once.
