I’m Ethan Saves, a Rochester, New York-based hip-hop artist, creative, collaborator, and community voice. Music is one of the primary ways I express myself, connect with people, and contribute to the creative culture around me.

Over the years, I’ve built a growing catalog of independent music, including releases such as “Fake News” and “Sushi Boi,” while also collaborating with a wide range of artists across Rochester’s music community and beyond. My work has connected me with artists including Cvrrent Flow, Crockerdile, Citizen P, SHEGOD, Lil Tyke, KAI ONYX, and others.

For me, creativity goes beyond releasing songs. I’m interested in the conversations, relationships, experiences, and communities that can be built around art. In 2025, I had the opportunity to serve as the host of Positive Masculinity at Muck Duck Studio in Rochester, an event bringing artists and musicians together to explore healthier and more meaningful expressions of masculinity through creativity and conversation.

My journey continues to be about creating, collaborating, connecting with people, and finding new ways to use my voice. Whether it’s through music, live events, conversations, or working alongside other creatives, I want what I create to contribute something meaningful to the culture around me.

I’m always interested in connecting with artists, producers, creatives, organizations, venues, and people who believe in collaboration and building something meaningful together.
