I was 18 when I filled in for Eugene Vinyard in the 'pit band' with The Temptations at the Arie Crown Theater. During that time I moved to Boston, accepting a Scholarship to study Performance and Music Business at Berklee College of Music. In 1990, I returned to Chicago and received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia College in 1992. I spent the following two years as a Performance Bartender at the Hyatt Regency Hotel (playing sax slinging drinks), and left that position to tour with Leroy Bach's Funk Ensemble Uptighty until its end in 1996. I have performed or recorded with Chicago based Musicians and Producers including: Wilco, The Chi-Lites, Marvin Tate's D-Settlement, Tortoise, 5 Style/Heroic Doses, National Trust, Brad Wood(Liz Phair), Brian Deck, Abel Garibaldi, Louie Louie-The Percussionist, Rick Gehrenbeck(Poi Dog), Matt Lux, Jeff Parker, Billy Dolan, Sarah Smith, Le Roy Bach, and (DJ's) Jesse De La Pena, Shon Dervis Smith, Mark Grant, AM/PM, and Jeremy "Sole" Ross. Over the past 7 years I have studied Home Studio Recording, and Electronic Music Production Engineering. I am proficient in Pro Tools, Reason, Traktor Pro, Serato, and Ableton Live. I have certificates from Berkelee College of Music (On Line) in Pro Tools, and a Production Certificate from Dub Spot in Ableton Live. I am proficient with Ableton Push. Push is a performance controller that allows the user to compose "on the fly." I have also been a professional DJ for the past 20 years. I have performed many weddings and private parties. I held a 2 year residency on Fridays at Inn Joy in Wicker Park. I recently held a DJ Residence at The Langham Hotel in the Travelle Lounge for 26 weeks until we went into hiatus. There I DJ'ed and performed on Ableton Push live. This is a unique skill set for the modern DJ, as it requires not only DJ skills, but professional musician caliber abilities.

Her small K-12 school did not offer a strong band program, and Evan taught, guided, and kept her motivated until she was able to join the band when she entered high school. She was fully prepared to compete with the other students who had the opportunity to play with a structured band in middle school. Evan not only has a terrific personality and an ability to identify with youths, but at the same time he remains professional and authoritative. Further, Evan is punctual, dependable and reliable. I highly recommend him and feel fortunate that my daughter was taught by such a talented man.
