In the back end of the 2010s, Evolution did multiple performances at the Road Mender, in his hometown of Northampton. This allowed him to access the back door into the industry of live music.

His gigs are the most energetic shows you’ll ever go to! The energy and vibes he brings to the stage often sets off a trend of mosh pits, lots of jumping and not to forget, the screams of his fans shouting his lyrics back to a man who only wants the best for his loved ones.

Evolution plans to continue his story way into the 2020s and beyond. With a handful of gigs, 4 mixtapes, a handful of singles, and mostly self-produced music videos, he's in no way going to slow down. And will continue to smash the industry and make his mark.

“Evolution is the oncoming storm for 2023, and for the rest of this decade. He is uniquely versatile, and therefore has the upper hand to change the industry forever!”
