Evan Evans (film composer)
Evan Edward Evans (born September 13, 1975) is an American film score composer. He is the son of renowned jazz pianist Bill Evans, who died when Evan was a small boy.[1]
Evans began playing the piano at the age of five shortly after his father died and was a child prodigy, beginning composing at nine, and professionally by twelve years of age.[2] He attended University of California, Los Angeles and Nadia Boulanger Institute in Paris.[2] He apprenticed with several industry heavyweights, including Argentinian film composer, concert composer and pianist Lalo Schifrin.[2]
He generally composes for independent films. 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.
