16-Year Old Mechanicsville, Virginia native Ethan Cruikshank is one of the inspirational recipient's of the 2015 Nickelodeon HALO Awards for his work in the community. A guitar player since the age of seven, Ethan was inspired to start "Music to My Ears", a non-profit that recruits skilled musicians from middle schools and high schools, when he was just 10 years-old after his school cut music education funding.
Since then, Cruikshank's music program has helped over 100 kids across four states by providing free music lessons through volunteer teachers and distributing instruments to those who can't afford them.
