CANADA

As Festival Director and coordinator for Canadian Government funded Music Business Conference Live at Heart Newfoundland,  in 2018, Evan began the country’s first collaboration with Orebro Sweden developed and implementing  plans funded by the Federal government of Canada. That same year Evan coordinated 16h artists from across Canada to showcase in them in Sweden. 15 of those artists were funded by the Canadian Government.

Subsequently, through Evan’s established global network, he has helped artists from around the world gain successful opportunities in North America, Europe and Asia, along the way, always helping musicians create a functioning business from their art.  

The following year,  Evan booked seven artists from places as diverse as India, Germany, USA and UK into the world’s biggest festival, Summerfest.
