This week on the Tone Tailors Podcast, I’m sitting down with 18-year-old musician, producer, and one-man-band content machine Ethan Cutillo.Follow Ethan online: https://www.instagram.com/ethan.cutilloYou’ve probably seen his covers floating around Instagram. He’s sitting in a blue-lit room playing drums, keys, guitar, bass, and vocals all at once. And no, it’s not pre-recorded and dubbed over. He’s actually tracking every instrument live and building the song piece by piece.In this episode we talk about:• Starting in choir and landing a national tour of The Sound of Music at just 10 years old• Touring the country and how that shaped his confidence early on• Why Covid shifted him from acting into full-time music• His love for rock, indie, and classic bands like The Strokes and The Beatles• How he built a 50,000+ following on Instagram with covers• The exact process he uses to record drums, keys, guitar, vocals, and mix everything himself• Dealing with internet hate and negative comments• AI in music and where he draws the line• Being nominated for Best Youth Artist at the Central Pennsylvania Music AwardsWe also get into his college plans, Berklee vs NYU, and what a long-term career in music production could look like for him.What I respect most about Ethan is this: he’s not waiting. He’s not “working on it.” He’s posting. He’s experimenting. He’s learning in public. And it’s working.If you’re a young musician trying to grow on social media, or you’re just curious how these multi-instrument covers are actually made, this episode breaks it all down.Go follow Ethan and show him some love. And if you see him at the CPMAs, tell him you heard him here first.Subscribe for more episodes with musicians and creatives from Lancaster, Central PA, and beyond.
