Evolve started spinning break beat in 1994 in Orlando, FL, influenced by the local electronic music culture headed by Andy Hughes, Christopher Rayce, DJ Icey and AK 1200. After a move to AZ in '97 he began composing electronic music while training classically in composition, piano and theory, earning a BA in music. In '99 He began DJing at AZ raves and clubs. 2000 marked the beginning of live original performances, which included Evolve with members of the Tucson Symphony and Arizona Opera Company.

As a composer and multi-instrument performer (drumset, keyboards, turntables, beatbox and guitar), Evolve has independently released five albums and has written music for theater and film. Evolve produces and performs his original music using synthesizers, a hybrid acoustic/electronic drumset, turntablism, guitar, vocals and strings. He brings a unique and learned approach to drum and bass; incorporating complex meter and tonality and modal and pentatonic scales. The music is equally aggressive and uplifting and brings together elements of Jungle, Breaks, & Trip Hop.

As a DJ, Evolve has shared the decks with Victor Dinaire, Project Argo (Moonshine Records), Phantom 45, CosmicBoy, Rinse, Siren, Z trip, and Rod Carillo performing nationally at raves, concerts and AZ clubs like Freedom, Vaudeville, Hazy Dayz, Plush and Heart Five. In 2002 & 2003 Evolve held residencies at Hazy Dayz and AZsessions.com.
