Evan Evans (film composer)
Evan Edward Evans (born September 13, 1975) is an American film score composer. He is the son of legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans who died when he was a small boy.[1]
Evans began playing the piano at the age of six after his father died and was a child prodigy, beginning composing at twelve.[2] He attended University of California, Los Angeles and Nadia Boulanger Institute in Paris.[2] He began as an apprentice for Argentinian film composer Lalo Schifrin, who composed the jazzy soundtracks to many of Clint Eastwood's films in the 1970s and composed Mission: Impossible.[2]
He generally composes for low budget independent films and documentaries. His compositions are often highly complex and dark and atmospheric. In 1999 he founded the record label, E3 Records; E3 is named after his three initials. Evans is also a successful semi-professional poker player and is the author of several works offering winning tips.
