Biography :
Born in the mid 90's he slowly searched and found his way in to music and audio in general. He made his first steps in to audio in 2014, with the wish to share and make discover to other people the music he loves so much that he played long eclectics Dj sets, mixing multiple House/Techno sub-genres along oldschool, exotic or even experimental influences.

You might have heard him in some places like the Redlight, Batofar, Folies Pigalle, 4 Elements, Panic Room, Concorde Atlantique or even at his stop at the Marvellous island Festival in 2016.

In the meanwhile, he quickly discovered the production/studio univers and made his first audio experiments with, since the beginning a strong attract for audio synthesis. We indeed find this back in his early compositions with those catchy synths, rich and bewitching.

With his childwood friend, Lowel, Evan is also at the origin of TDF Records a collective born association wich has now became a full part Label based between Paris & Montreal. TDF gathers a few artists, organise some events and release some underground Techno music (Learn More about TDF Records Here).

He developped some competences in various domains from audio recording/engineering to sound design, post production for video content, dynamic audio integration in to video games via the Wwise Engine wich he is both 101 & 110 certified user... But in the end, his main interest remained around the music, and especially in to post production processing implied at the Mixdown and Mastering stages.

Thruly passionated by digital audio processing and modifying the sources to correct, enhance, smoothen them without loosing their original caracter/vibe; he learned and experienced hard along purchasing high quality tools optimized for the different needs.
