Ethan Mentzer is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, music producer, and mixing engineer. He graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2004 with a Bachelor of Music Degree and formed the band The Click Five, signing with Lava/Atlantic records that same year. After cutting his teeth touring worldwide and performing at Madison Square Garden, Wembley Arena, and the first ever rock concert at Angkor Wat Temple, as well as recording and mentoring with legendary producer Mike Denneen, Mentzer began composing for films, TV and theatre such as: Bad Night, Bigger Fatter Liar, Daybreak, Ginny & Georgia, Hey Fibi, Igor (Trailer), John Tucker Must Die, KOAL, The Lake, Lucky Bastards, My Super Sweet Sixteen, Power Rangers, Taking 5, The Shaggy Dog, Shameless, Sky High, Sydney White (Trailer), and Vampire Diaries. He has also had music featured in video games NHL ‘17 and Far Cry. His songwriting and production credits include: an RIAA Certified Gold Record “Horns” (141 million streams) performed by Bryce Fox, a Gold Record for The Click Five, Lindsey Lohan, Atomic Tom, Nina Lee and Ryan Wright. Emotion, storytelling and uniqueness are the driving forces behind Mentzer’s creative vision, whether composing to help define the narrative and characters in film, TV or theatre; writing songs for artists to perform in their own voice; or mixing a record to make it compelling to the audience. His artistic approach is to identify the unique needs of each project with the common goal to move people by creating depth of field — bringing the emotional crux into focus while generating interest and curiosity in what lies in the background. Mentzer has also composed branding music for Chase Bank, Chevrolet, Discovery+, Ford, Google, Government of Canada, Hyundai, Jim Beam, Kia, Olay, Ontario Lottery Group, Peroni Italia, Robinhood, Rogers Unison, Samsung, Shaw Cable, Smucker's, Target, Telus, Toyota, U.S Customs and Border Protection and more.
