Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ethan Burdick has signed with Back Blocks Music for management and publishing.
Hailing from Vancouver, Washington, Burdick moved to Music City this year after Back Blocks Founder & CEO Rakiyah Marshall found him on TikTok Live. Burdick got his musical start by playing drums in marching band, as well as jazz band. Growing up he played gigs in his hometown, honing his live signing and emotional storytelling. His inspirations include Lizzy McAlpine, Noah Kahan, Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber.
“I’m so thrilled to officially welcome Ethan Burdick to the Back Blocks family! From the moment he arrived in Nashville, Ethan jumped straight into the work of shaping his artistry and sharpening his songwriting. He’s humble, introspective, and deeply self-motivated — the kind of artist who’s building in all the right directions,” shares Marshall. “I have no doubt we’ll be watching him on the GRAMMY stage one day.”
“Rakiyah and her team are so passionate and have such an incredible understanding of what makes long-lasting careers, I’m so excited to be working with them. I feel very blessed… I never would’ve believed you if you told me I’d be living in Nashville chasing down my wildest dreams, but I know God works in amazing ways,” adds Burdick. “I’m so grateful for this opportunity and look forward to writing and releasing more music.”
Burdick is also signed to SESAC.
