You have already heard Brian's voice on shows such as "So You Think You Can Dance," "CSI", and "Big Shots" among others. Actual video clips of those shows are available for viewing on Brian's "MySpace" page.
Born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, Brian began his career as an actor in Los Angeles, moving there from Massachusetts at age 16. After various roles on shows such as "Beverly Hills, 90210," and "Full House," Evans took his passion for the crooner style to Canada, where he performed to accolades nationally before debuting at The Desert Inn in Las Vegas.
After signing with personal manager Elliott Lott (The Beach Boys), Evans has now performed thousands of shows around the world, and as the opening act for Jay Leno at his Las Vegas concerts, and for Dionne Warwick, Lou Rawls, Franki Valli, and a host of others. Attending Midem in Cannes, France in 2000, Evans found his albums with serious distribution throughout Asia. In 2004, the actor/singer took a unique left turn, running for the United States Senate in Hawaii. After coming in second place in the primary, Evans returned to Vegas where his stint with Jay Leno began.
He has been written about worldwide, from People Magazine, USA Today, to Knight Ridder national news articles and Grammy Magazine, who most recently named Evans among Norah Jones as one of the new relevant crooners of our time. Evans sums up his life best in this simple statement: "Its about the ride. Ive had a lot of mileage in my life in a short time, and I have always marched to the beat of my own drum. My ups have been great, my downs were mostly caused by myself, but you live and learn. If you havent lived these songs, you dont have a lot of business singing them."
Having worked with some of the biggest names in show business has brought Evans many opportunities, but his next mission is to continue working on what will eventually be his major label debut. In fact, BMG recently licensed Brians album in their membership catalog, BMG Direct, making Brians album the first independent release they have ever signed by a single artist.
Perseverance has always been the key to Brian Evans success. "Giving up is not an option. I love what I do, and Im pretty much laying in wait...but you will know my name."
Check out more of Brian's songs at ITunes, SonyConnect, BMGDirect, and all other online music download stores throughout the world.
Brian is currently working on his debut international release. The new CD will feature 13 tracks and a duet with Kelly Osbourne of the song "Blue Bayou" that was written by one of Brian's favorite recording artists, Roy Orbison.

Brian Evans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get what's real
Can't you see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Might as well jump, jump
Might as well jump, jump
Go ahead an' jump, jump
Go ahead and jump, jump
Hey, you! Hey baby, how you been?
You say you don't know, you won't know until you begin
So can't you see me standing here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Can't you see what I mean?
Might as well jump, jump
Might as well jump, jump
Go ahead jump, jump
Go ahead and just jump, jump
Knock yourself up
Can't you see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine

The song "Jump!" by Brian Evans is an upbeat rock song about taking chances and living life to the fullest. The song starts off with the singer expressing that he can handle anything that comes his way, and encourages the listener to do the same by rolling with the punches and getting what's real. He then goes on to say that it's time to jump and take that leap of faith, and that the only way to know what you're capable of is to begin.
The chorus of "Might as well jump" is repeated multiple times throughout the song, which lends itself to the idea of taking a chance and jumping into an opportunity that might seem risky or uncertain. The singer also acknowledges that while there may be obstacles and challenges, he's not the worst that you've seen, implying that the listener is also capable of overcoming difficult situations. Ultimately, the song is a call to action, encouraging the listener to take a chance, seize the day, and jump into whatever is waiting for them.
