Eytan

Eytan-- pronounced like Akon with a “T” – is an Israeli name meaning “mighty.” Born in North Carolina to an Israeli mother and American father, Eytan had a nomadic childhood as his father's journalistic career took the family to Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C., and finally the suburbs of New York when Eytan was 10. Each city brought a new set of challenges and a new set of friends, but music remained the constant. Playing classical piano from age 5, Eytan was performing in Carnegie Hall competitions and writing songs by age 12.
