Child piano playing prodigy sets new Guinness record

Eleven-year-old musician Ethan Bortnick, sets the Guinness World Record as the youngest solo musician to headline his own concert tour.




Piano player Ethan Bortnick has headlined a show in Las Vegas, Nevada and has shared a stage with everyone from Elton John to Beyonce.

Now the prodigy holds the Guinness World Records title as The World's Youngest Solo Musician to Headline his own Tour at the age of nine. Bortnick was presented his certificate by an official from Guinness in New York City on Wednesday.

Two years after setting the record the sixth grader is hitting the road again for a 22 US city tour titled It's All About Music, that he described as unpredictable fun.

Bortnick started playing the piano at the age of three, after begging his parents for piano lessons. The first song he taught himself to play was on his small toy piano.

A portion of the proceeds from his tour and sales from his new single It's All About Music will go to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

A cause close to his heart after he watched his younger brother battle through three heart surgeries.
