Ethan Alexander

My name is Ethan Alexander Clifford. I am a 19 year old ​college student at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

When discovering my brand as an artist, I found that it's all ​of my personality traits and experiences that fuel the songs I ​write. My writing and love for production details is what ​defines my craft. My biggest music inspiration comes from ​artists like Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish, Phoebe ​Bridgers, and Benson Boone. Another trait that I find most ​unique in my identity as a young pop artist is that I am from ​a small town in southwest Ohio. My experiences growing up ​here are different than other young, popular artists. My ​lyrics often reflect on living in the Midwest and wanting to ​be a pop star. Lastly, my ability to learn to play multiple ​instruments and dive into the basics of music theory as I got ​older allowed me to write and produce my own demos. ​Though, I am not a producer, I do love to add elements to ​my music that make it feel like me. I have always been one ​to rock the boat, but in a good way.

When I was a baby, my mom used to sing me "Tim McGraw" from ​Taylor Swift's first album to put me to sleep. From a really young age, ​my mom told people she knew I'd be a singer like her. She said I used to ​hum the notes that the vacuum made when she'd run it around the ​house when I was only 3. Of course, my entire family became huge ​"Swifties" as she grew in popularity. My mom eventually taught me to ​play some chords on guitar. The first song I ever learned to play on ​guitar, and later piano, was "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis ​Presley. Once I had a little bit of experience playing chords on multiple ​instruments, I started to learn songs by Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, ​Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, and more. Once I learned how other people ​wrote music through playing by ear, I started to write my own songs in ​7th grade, I have been writing songs since, and picked up some ​recording skills over the past 5 years

For the past few years, TikTok has ​reshaped the way music is spread ​throughout the world. Tiktok has ​now become the number one ​place for finding new talent. It also ​happens to be where my biggest ​following lives.

Until recently, I didn’t take TikTok ​very seriously. However, I started ​posting singing videos. In just over ​a month, I have reached over 20K ​views total on my videos.

Although TikTok is an amazing ​resource, I am not as well-versed ​in it as I wish I was. I can’t, alone, ​produce promotional content for ​my music. I would require the help ​of a label or management to ​further push my music.
