Sevi Ettinger is a 15 year old student from the United States who moved to Shanghai with her family in 2012. She attends high school at an American International school and is already being called "a rising star” by many in the music industry. Sevi has been singing since the age of 3, but she caught the attention of some very talented artists in the music industry when, at the age of 14, inspired by the Syrian refugee crisis and a backing track she heard online, she wrote the song "Salty Water” and recorded it on her smart phone.
When her father put "Salty Water" on his WeChat moments, it ended up being heard by singer/songwriter Phillip Jarrell and Grammy-winning producer Jeff Bova. (Jarrell recorded for such labels as Motown and 20th Century Fox Records. He wrote “Torn Between Two Lovers,” which went to #1 on the U.S. Billboard charts. Bova has worked with many artists, including Michael Jackson, Katy Perry and Cyndi Lauper to name a few. He also won a Grammy as a producer on Celine Dion's Album of the Year, "Falling Into You")
Fast forward one year and Sevi is now working with Jarrell and Bova in the studio in Shanghai and LA creating her debut album set to come out this summer. Sevi will be performing two songs from her soon-to-be-released album at the 2018 AmCham Ball. Sevi is a strong advocate for social justice and 20% of the proceeds from her song, Salty Water, will go to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). For more information about Sevi, you can check out her website at www.seviettinger.com.
