Born in the big city of Istanbul, Evren spent his entire childhood around music: big drums, exotic melodies and lots of dancing. After moving to Canada at a young age his love for music only grew stronger being surrounded by his parents endless record collection of Motown, to Jazz, Rock and of course Turkish music! On weekends they would have all their friends over, singing and dancing till late hours of the night while the little ones looked on and played amongst themselves. This is where it all began for young Evren.
Unlike many teen tragedies, Evren's story didn’t end with him in a river. After years of being arrested, getting in trouble with the cops and seeing many of his friends either end up deceased or in jail, 15 year old Evren decided to turn his life around. He realized the time had come to follow his childhood dream and be the artist he always knew he could be. And he’s done it.
It’s not just his success as a writer. His music has been featured in over 10 hit Television shows including Degrassi the Next Generation, Instant Star, and Billable hours. His songs and voice on endless national ad campaigns including Toyota, Telus, Nike, and Kellogg’s. He’s not only a performer, but also a multi instrumentalist music producer working with artists of so many different genres.
It’s his ability to have an ear for the market while remaining true to an MCs cause. Respect. “I don’t think it’s about selling out – if you can make music and make a living, in my world, that’s a beautiful life.” He has no qualms telling it how it is. From his first solo classic hip hop album in 2002 entitled “Conflict of Interest” to his upcoming releases both as an artist and as one of the hottest music producers, Evren has never lost sight of his roots, his culture and his code.
A killer freestyle rapper, a wicked recording engineer, and a master of melodies, guys like Evren come only once in a while. And when they do, be ready, because in one way or another, he’ll be comin’ for you.
