Bio: Ethan Kent is an up-and-coming, singer, songwriter, producer, and worship leader from Dallas, TX. He began playing piano at age 8, and composed his first song at age 12. His 15 years of active involvement in music ministry has also led him to develop skills on the organ, drums, bass guitar, and recently guitar.
In early 2008 he produced a track, which later became the theme song for Dallas based publication, Epitome magazine. In the fall of 2008 he produced his first CD, “Vertical Connections” with Overcoming Faith Christian Center, which included original praise & worship compositions and favorites like “Lord I Give Myself To You”, “I Believe”, “Beautiful King”, and “Lifter Of My Head”. Later that year, he received his B.A. from Dallas Baptist University. There he majored in Christian Studies with an emphasis in music ministry, and minored in Music Business.
In recent years, Ethan has focused on serving his local church, and building his production company, now known as Tonic Blueprint, through which he has began producing and writing for local and national recording artists such as Drea Randle, Merlon Divine, and Barbara Mitchell. In January of 2011 he was married to Audrey Etté, who works as an attorney. They are a true powerhouse in ministry together.
In July of 2012 he was awarded the Chris Simpson Award by KHVN 970 AM for the best new artist in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex who has accomplished much in a short period of time. Ethan Kent has also been featured in The Observer, The Dallas Weekly, and Focus Daily News publications. This year through Central South Distribution, Ethan will release his solo project entitled Work In Progress with the song “My Hope is In Glory” as his first single. This much anticipated project moves in a different vein musically, merging gospel, R&B, rock, and pop with refreshing themes and conversational lyrics that will inspire people of all ages.
