Bio (Courtesy of www.dannyevansmusic.com)
From Norwalk, CT, Evans moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in rap music. Immediately standing out with a bilingual, east coast sound and wit-filled rhymes, local Artists and DJ's embraced him with open arms proving the expression 'Cali Love' to be more than a classic record, rather a way of life.
Evans released his debut EP titled Zero Gravity on April 1st, 2014. Singles 'Fuego' and 'Zero Gravity' were accompanied with matching visuals.
"Zero Gravity is proof that I could write about anything. Seven records. All different. That was the goal."
Professional MMA Fighter Nick "Notorious" Newell, with the World Series of Fighting on NBC Sports Network walks out to 'Zero Gravity' before each of his fights.
'Same Difference' a record promoting Hispanic unity was picked up by ESPN and used in a highlight reel for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Following up with 'Banderas', Evans was again picked up by ESPN gaining more exposure during Hispanic Heritage Month. 'Same Difference' was also relicensed.
October 10th, 2014 - Evans released NWNM Vol. 1, a free mixtape with 21 tracks. Just over an hour long, Evans remixes and flows over popular industry beats with a story to tell.
"NWNM is my side of the story. I don't think people realize that the news clip in the beginning of that Fuego video is real. Yes, Im really facing 8 felonies. Yes, someone I considered a close friend snitched. Yes, those stories in NWNM are true."
NWNM currently has 5 visuals with more to come.
Evans is currently working on his second project with the Grammy Awarded, Bullets Production Team in Los Angeles and Andy Robinson of Five3 Entertainment in London.
