Hmm... Ethan Burdick

Look, my radar rarely twitches for pop singer-songwriters unless there's real grit behind the pen. Ethan Burdick just landed on Spotify’s Fresh Finds with his new single “Fine,” and I had to stop. The Vancouver kid went from getting discovered on TikTok Live to signing with Back Blocks and UTA, even opening for Jelly Roll this summer. “Fine” trades standard acoustic fluff for honest, sharp reflection. The industry machine is clearly moving heavy behind him, but the boy’s pen actually backs up the hype. Keep your eyes on this one.
