Since October 2007, this multi-faceted singer/songwriter/producer
and videographer, has managed to accomplish what few in the
dance music industry have... Evan Cowden has visited the top of
international dance AND video charts as a recording artist, a producer,
AND a video director. His creative vision has contributed to the careers
and chart topping successes of dance music's finest performers
including 13 time no.1 Billboard dance chart record holder Kristine W.,
Jeanie Tracy, Pepper MaShay, Suzanne Palmer, and super star
DJ's The Perry Twins. He has collaborated with some of the most
recognized and celebrated musicians in the recording industry including:
1997 Billboard Producer of the Year and Grammy nominated/multi-platinum
producer , Geza X (The Dead Kennedys, Blackflag, Josie
'Johnny are you Queer' Cotton and Meredith Brookes' triple platinum hit
single 'BITCH"), Paul Rosseler (The Screamers, Nina Hagen), Grammy
nominated producer and remixer Julian Marsh, and most recently,
Betsy Ulmer (Dolly Parton) and Jan Pulsford. Jan Pulsford has lent her
keyboard talents to such ground breaking bands as The Thompson Twins,
Banarama and The Buggles, but she is perhaps most well known for the 20+
songs that she has penned with songwriting partner and long time
collaborator Cyndi Lauper. These songs embody some of Lauper's most
critically acclaimed work from her 'SISTERS OF AVALON', 'SHINE' and
'12 DEADLY CYNS' era. Now, Evan Cowden has teamed up with these
amazing songwriters (Pulsford and Ulmer) to bring you DANCE FLOOR/
DANCE WHORE! This marks Cowden's fourth international single release
in 2 years and boldly foreshadows his upcoming full length studio album
'RUNNING', due to hit stores in early fall' 2009.
In 2007 Evan Cowden's first music video 'NO ONE IS TO BLAME' was picked
up by MTV Networks. Since it's debut he has directed and produced over
20 broadcast music videos for artists like Kristine W., Altar ft. Jeanie Tracy,
Sweet Feet Music ft. SoulSista Shakti w/Jeanie Tracy and Pepper MaShay,
Bill Bennett ft. Suzanne Palmer, and Sean Ensign. Evan Cowden has enjoyed
the no.1 postition on MTV/LOGO's top ten video chart twice with the dance
video hits 'ACTIVATE MY BODY' by The Perry Twins ft. Jania, and his very own smash hit single 'LABELWHORE'. Cowden's videos have spent a combined 20+ weeks on the top ten video chart on MTV/LOGO and he continues to be one
of the most frequently and consistantly programmed video directors and
recording artists in North America via outlets such as Promo Only, Rock America, Clubcom and Screen Play Inc.
You can hardly step foot in a video bar or night club without seeing or hearing something that Cowden has had
his hands in! His body of work is represented worldwide by BOBD Productions, Tommy Boy Records, Klone Records/
UK, BPM-tv in Canada, LOGO, MTV overdrive/MTV.com, VH1's the V-spot/VH1.com, ,Spike TV, and Fashion TV

2009 has proven no less productive, as Cowden has recently completed video direction
for the latest no.1 billboard hit 'LOVE IS THE LOOK' by Kristine W., 'MANHUNT' by
Bill Bennett ft. Pepper MaShay, and the recently released 'MOVE YOUR BODY'
by Carloline Lund. 'MOVE YOUR BODY' is a featured track on the WHITE PARTY 9 CD, along side Madonna, Kristine W. and Charo,
and highlighted the brilliant new trance production team of OUTER SUNSET. Outer Sunset
appears on Paul Oakenfold's PERFECTO DIGITAL record label and is currently remixing
projects for Cowden's upcoming NEW releases. It is with innovative collaborations like this,
along with the highly anticpated release of his full length album 'RUNNING', that Evan Cowden proves
himself a major player in both POP and DANCE music; churning out hits, collaborations and
music videos that will continue to entertain generations to come.
