Collaborations on My Musical Journey by Jarvis Evans

Music has always been my sanctuary and my expression, weaving through my life like a melodious thread, coloring my experiences with its vibrant tones. From my early days of humming along with classics in the living room to becoming a semi-finalist on American Idol, every note has shaped me. I am Jarvis Evans, an emerging artist with dreams not just to perform, but to inspire.

The genesis of my professional journey was significantly marked by joining forces with Caustic Entertainment. Under the aegis of Mimi Johnson, an astute founder and fellow artist, I found a platform that resonated with my artistic vision and ethos. My affiliation with Musicwoman Magazine further sculpted my niche in this melodic world, providing me with opportunities to voice my thoughts and share my musical aspirations, one of which was vividly highlighted in my recent interview on the Musicwoman Radio podcast.

On another note, my Aunt Barbara Evans, who performed extensively in Italy, before returning to South Florida, where she sings, regularly, is a member of Women in Jazz South Florida, too. Dr. Cartwright, Mimi Johnson, and I had a fantastic phone call from Atlanta with Aunt Barbara, the evening that I discovered she had joined WIJSF almost 10 years ago! It’s a small world and we are all in the exact place we need to be!

The realm of music is communal, and nothing exemplifies this more than my upcoming project in August, a music video shoot for my song Ride The Ride with my incredibly talented cousin, Tiffany Evans. Known for her hit Promise Ring recorded with Ciara, Tiffany brings a dynamic energy that complements my style. Aside from being a family reunion, this collaboration is a fusion of artistic spirits, creating something phenomenal.

This video is a narrative of resilience, hope, and the sheer joy of music. It encapsulates our shared dreams and the vibrancy of our voices together. We are filming this video in the warmth of August to capture the visuals and the essence of what music means to us, an eternal promise ring of harmony and inspiration.

To all my supporters and future fans, this music video is just the beginning. With every lyric and every beat, I strive to reach hearts and stir souls. So, keep your eyes and ears open because exciting projects are on the horizon, and I am just getting started on this incredible musical voyage.

Be on the lookout. Great things are coming!
