Modern production goes vinyl

With a song idea in place, it's time to bring in the artist, Jared Evan.

Jared Evan is a singer-songwriter, record producer, and rapper from New York who burst onto the scene in 2009, at the age of 20, when he signed a deal with Zone 4/Interscope records with the support of Jimmy Iovine.

Since the beginning of his career, Jared has released 3 EPs, toured the United States with OneRepublic, and collaborated with artists like Statik Selektah, Joey Badass, Action Bronson, and many more. Jared has amassed a massive cult fan following, which helped his collaboration album, "Boom Bap & Blues," shoot to number 8 on the iTunes R&B/Soul charts in a few short hours after his release.

Jared is currently working on his next record, "Dark Days,", which with any luck, the song he and ill Factor are about to write will be included.
