E-603 is a Mash up/Sampling artist from Nashua, New Hampshire, Ethan Ward. Ethan started the E-603 project in 2005 after he had a bazaar yet profound dream. The dream consisted primarily of a discussion with The old man in the Mountain, which had collapsed in 2003. The Old Man in the Mountain asked Ethan to carry on his legacy, of teaching the world to Live Free or Die. It is unknown exactly why this caused Ethan to create music and why the name E-603, although it is speculated that it is related to the day of The Old Man in the Mountain's Collapse.
