| About Yvonne-Marie Evans |

I’m Yvonne-Marie Evans (YME for short) I’m 24 years old and have been writing & playing my own music since I can remember. I decided to take it a step further back in 2004 (when I was 19) and made a demo CD and promoted it myself as much as I could.
I managed to get the attention of a Canadian artist promotions company and I sold everything I had and moved over there. Though still unsigned and unmanaged I released two singles & worked my butt off to enable me financially to get the songs recorded and onto the radio. One of my songs did well on Canadian radio but I never actually sold it as a single.
One year later I fell out with that company as they were trying to turn me into some cheesy pop act and anyone that knows me knows that I’m definitely not that! So I packed up my life there and headed back to the UK.
Back at home in Devon I got myself together and 2 months later found myself back in Aberdeen, Scotland again as this is where I had worked previously. Seriously lacking funds after my Canadian trip I knuckled down and worked my socks off in the hope I'd be able to produce my first album by myself.
A year on in April 2007 "Dead To The World" my debut album got released, though still unsigned & managed only by the contents of my own head, I was determined to get it heard. I had session musicians come in for some tracks on the album, and these guys have now been with me as my band ever since (The YME's). My 3 sexy musical guys that I adore!
Determined to get my tracks heard, I sent over 300 copies of the album out into the UK music scene as well as selling the album through my website and at gigs. Despite my efforts I hadn’t attracted any record companies or labels.
Not one to give up, I planned a tour for me and my band in October 2007 throughout the UK over a two week period, despite our tour vehicle breaking down and some gigs being cancelled by the promoters, we managed to play all our gigs that were booked and get through it alive! A few of the shows were amazing and the energy and feedback the band and I got back was brilliant, This encouraged me to work my butt off again and record a 2nd album, which I have just recently finished, but yet to be released. "KALEIDOSCOPE" will hopefully attract the attention of people this time round and if not, I'll do it all over again and again and again until someone in the music industry does take notice!
