What to expect

His music blends captivating storytelling with rich instrumentation, creating an unforgettable experience for audiences.

About

Evan Cristo is world renown for his effortless ability to bridge musical genres.

From his mother's womb, rhythm took charge as his first form of expression. He began learning to play drums, soon after he began learning to speak. This percussive comfort seamlessly shines in his music along with his dynamic melodic palette.

Shortly after his Mother’s passing in 2010, Evan was compelled to pursue Songwriting and Artistry seriously. He has released 2 EP’s and several singles with critical acclaim.

Evan has worked with Award winning artists like Quetzal, Aloe Blacc, Kanye West and Keb Mo. His extensive studies in music of the African Diaspora meld with his African-American roots in Jazz, R&B and Hip-hop, make him a sought after musician and songwriter for his unduplicatable sound.
