Sun and Sky Records

Today, Ethan is back in full force this 2020, providing a follow up to last summer’s ‘Closure’ in the form of a sequel track titled ‘Sink and Die,’ the first release under this new alliance. A lover of an overarching narrative, the two songs exist in dialogue with one another, as new single ‘Sink and Die’ beautifully addresses life’s harshest realizations through a winding rabbit hole of revenge, in addition to the process of coming to terms with heartbreaking outcomes. This narrative unveils itself as a common wafting of emotion and desire for escape. This marks Ethan’s first promotional single for his upcoming EP, harmonic minor – the first of entirely original music, as well as one of two EP’s fans can expect for this year.

In addition to his own artistry, his label Sun & Sky Records is a burgeoning leader in identifying young and unique talent and influencers. Recently inking a deal with Korean sensation Ailee, last year, the label plans to re-release her 2019 Christmas song "Sweater" here in the U.S. A burgeoning home to young talent, Sun & Sky will leverage ADA’s network of resources, while taking lead in architecting bright futures and musical opportunities for its young and exceptionally talented influencers, such as Super Siah (a gifted star with over 1.2 billion video views), Driplets and more.

“Throughout my career I’ve strayed away from major labels due to my strong belief in artistic integrity and indie music,” shares Bortnick when asked about the new deal. “However, ADA is changing the game for record labels, and independent music. ADA’s mission and presence in the modern music scene is hard to ignore and I couldn’t be more excited to partner up with them in this transitional period for me and my artistry, and in introducing some phenomenal artists with the same vision.” 

Now 19 years old, Ethan Bortnick is ready to truly begin to tell his story and offer insights to his experiences throughout the years. A truly gifted individual, his remarkable talents are just the backdrop of what he plans to offer the music industry, thanks to ADA and its suite of benefits and vast global network.
