My name is Ethan Keller, a recording and touring artist with over 30 of experience in the music and entertainment industries. I've been honored with multiple awards, including the Milwaukee Music Award for Solo Artist of the Year, and the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) award for Best Pop Artist. Beyond performing, I also provide services to artists like booking and career coaching. In 2020, I started the first winery (cidery) in Milwaukee. I received my winemaking certificate (from Texas Tech University) in 2023. I consider myself an author and public speaker, and am comfortable appearing on TV, radio and written publications. My technical skills span a wide array of music production tools, computer software, culinary arts, and more. In 2008 I even achieved a black belt in tae kwon do. Additionally, I am passionate about education-based advocacy work related to poverty, hunger, criminal justice, environmental resources, and cultural awareness. It is always a privilege to grow and collaborate within the entertainment sector, yet my artistry reflects, and is informed by many passions in life.
