🍓 Blossoming on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Ethan Matt’s creations reflect the glitter and chaos of NYC. The drama of Gossip Girl and the parties of Sex & The City were always a few blocks away as a teenaged Ethan developed his writing and sound. While discovering more about writing, performing, and recording music at the University of Michigan, Ethan slowed down to reflect a new life away from the city. Midwest charm and collaborators from a variety of stylistic backgrounds helped refine Ethan’s fusion of melodic raps, bouncy drums, and ethereal soundscapes. Returning to the city to learn more about music business at NYU, Ethan’s growth can be heard in his new voice at 23. Through the series of strawbearE songs, listeners enter the Garden of Ethan, where groove, intimacy, and self-discovery are ever present themes on the journey from sour to sweet. 🍓
