MR. EVAN V
Hi! Mr. Evan V here, musician, songwriter, performer, and dog dad - Nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
From my roots in the NYC jazz scene to becoming a leading children's music artist, my journey has been fueled by one mission: bringing world-class musicianship to the next generation!
My Story:
Flash back to a day not-too-long ago when I was hanging fliers to ‘drum’ up private music students.
No student bit, BUT I did get a call from Dorothy at Tic Tac Daycare. She asked me if I was interested in performing a music class for the kids … WHAT?!
Sounded kinda silly, but “Why not?!”
Before I knew it, I was performing music classes at numerous daycares, performing at birthday parties, and releasing my own music!
I’m so glad I said “yes” because now I’m ALL IN with the fun and fulfilling world of kids’ music.
While my musical path took an unexpected turn, it led me exactly where I needed to be—creating high-energy, 'kid-cool' music that parents actually love and every child can jam to.
Mr. Evan V fun facts:
My mom and dad were working musicians (it’s in the stars …..)
The ukulele was my first, and fav, instrument
I lived in Denver for one - very snowy - year to study Flamenco guitar.
Seeking warmer temps - I moved to LA to attend Musicians Institute.
After some jumping around, NYC became my home - and I’ve never looked back!
I graduated from SUNY Purchase with a bachelor’s in jazz guitar performance
I have training in TONS of music types: - Jazz, Rock, Flamenco, Classical, Pop, and even Rap!
What’s up with the V?
My middle name is actually V! Yep, just the letter V! My dad thought the name Evan V would be a good stage name…lol! My Grandpa’s name was Vick so it’s also a nod to him. :)
Do you write your own music?
I sure do! You can check out some original tunes here!
