Ethan Breakaway - Some Stories Are True That Never Happened

What started out as a 4 man band, soon reduced to him and his music, which are one of the many lessons he’s learnt about the music industry and how quickly things can change. Since 2007, he’s been playing around with production software such as Fruity Loops, which has successfully given him songs and beats to upload to Myspace, where he's met and collaborated with up and coming artist such as Enrico Delves and Duane Lamonte.  Ethan Breakaway is an 18 year old musician from West London, who loves to make music when he’s not ‘meeting new people or staying up late looking at the moon’.

I thought I’d catch up with Ethan himself, to find out more.

’Four years ago I started producing, playing about with the good old Fruity Loops uploading to Myspace just like everyone really at the time', he says when asked how he initially got into music. He continues ‘I was in a three man group, which then dropped to two which was a very R n B harmony wise and then turned to more indie type music. From the split of that group, I joined a four person production team which included two writers, producer - me - and a robot  - writer/producer . Now I’m in a one man band, artist. Hoping it doesn't turn to zero, I produce and write all of my music'.

’My music represents my life in a way it’s all based on true stories with the main word being "based", so all my inspiration for my music are stories, which reflects the tattoo across my chest which says; "Some stories are true that never happened".

'As of appealing to my listeners, I feel they appeal to me in the sense that they make me want to make more music’.

‘If you call not really having a social life a sacrifice then that would be it’. He says when asked about the sacrifices he's made in order to pursue his career, he continues,  ‘I’m not someone who regrets things, I believe everything happens for a reason, especially if you're positively focused on something you really want to do’.

'I've worked with Enrico Delves and Duane Lamonte. In future i'd love to work on a record with Alex Da Kid, Labrinth, Angel, Dappy, Wretch 32, Chipmunk and loads more UK wise. US wise the list is endless’.

He identifies that a lot of his inspiration comes from industry veterans such as ‘Michael Jackson’ ‘Usher’. Four qualities he believes a great musician or artist should possess are’Talent which is the best head start. Dedication, positivists and love for whatever you’re doing’.

When asked about the future he says ‘the near future for Ethan Breakaway is even unknown to me, but you can definitely expect more and more original music as always.

'As for the future ahead of the near future, A Number 1 single? Sold out tour? Brit, Grammy award? The Jonathan Ross show?

I mean who knows?’
