… Read Full Bio ↴This is my journey of Reclaiming what God has already given me.
Thousand Oaks, Calif. native Evan Craft, known throughout various church music-loving circles for his unique pop approach to pop music, launched his first album, GIANTS on Dream Records / Universal Music Christian Group on Tuesday, March 27th, 2011. The album, which is a mixture of soulful pop rock with deep lyrics will surely excite the music community. In addition, Evan shows off his spanish language skills by releasing his first spanish song on the album, "No Hay Nadie."
The 20 year old singer toured a majority of the US and within the Latino markets during 2011 having learned spanish from helping out in a home shelter in North Hollywood, CA as well as a trip to Spain this same year. In connection to his new album's release, Evan is releasing acoustic versions of his videos as speak with explanations of what the songs mean to him on hiswww.youtube.com/evancraftmusic account. Dream released streaming versions of the studio versions prior to the release as well on their YouTube account.
"Broken Heart", Evan's first single which debuted on iTunes February 21st is already creating buzz at radio. The song's "Brandon Heath-esque" approach is sure to gain momentum in the coming weeks as it's getting a lot of buzz.
“If anyone can leap hurdles in the Christian music industry, Evan Craft sure shows promised potential for doing so. Craft’s previous albums have previously been recorded in English but with his up and coming album, Yo Soy Segundo, he aims to exceed Christian music norms by releasing a Spanish record to be distributed throughout the US and into Latin America. Evan Craft aims to make a BIG impact on an expanded number of listeners. Born and raised in the Conejo Valley of Southern California, Evan Craft has been around music and the church his whole life. At the early age of 12, Craft begun to play the guitar and by the time high school had passed by, he had become highly proficient in singing, writing music and had even completed his first album Spotlight. Local success of his first album, combined with having a hit song on YouTube, led him to a deal with Dream Records. Now with support of a label, Craft is able to explore his music career to a wider audience. His debut, Giants, became an immediate hit and opened the doors to producing Yo Soy Segundo, with friends, Bob Curtin and Sean Cook (bass player of Billboard Chart Toppers, Press Play). Craft has had the amazing opportunity to travel the country playing from east to west coast opening for critically appraised bands Third Eye Blind, Carolina Liar, Eric Hutcheson and Tyrone Wells. Evan most recently has been travelling to churches, schools and even orphanages evangelically reaching out to those in need of God.
With the coming release of Yo Soy Segundo (I Am Second), Craft has worked day and night preparing one of his most anticipated feats yet. This album intends to leap the hurdles of language and reach out to the Spanish speakers of America and Latin America with a more in-depth worship of God. Whereas Giants was more pop/rock, Yo Soy Segundo features more soulful that is worship based and melody driven, making it easy for the audience to sing along and relate to.
With a greater goal in mind, Craft explains that there is more at work than the eye sees. “My goal for this album is to be more than a singer and a songwriter. My job is to lift God’s name on high for the people and let Him take care of the rest. I am just a tool for God, a resounding trumpet, a lighter for Him the Almighty.”
Craft’s deep faith helped him rely on God’s help to choose the best songs that would have the greatest impact on the listener. At times, he would wake up in the middle of the night with an incredible vision or melody of the music he wanted and he would immediately set to writing the music.
One of the songs on the album that speaks to Craft the most is “Dame Fe” (Give Me Faith). Craft wrote this with a personal and relatable meaning of – “Give me faith to trust in God in the hardest times so that I can trust Him and so that He can guide me.” Lyrically driven and acoustically satisfying, Dame Fe and the title track “Yo Soy Segundo” can both be found on the Dream Records artist page or on his YouTube page at norges online casino nett spill
www.youtube.com/EvanCraftMusic. Both songs have an amazing and very catchy beat to them sure to draw in any listener regardless of their understanding of Spanish.
This proves to show that Craft’s music is universal. Despite the language difference, the music itself will draw the listener to God. It will make the listener want to look up the lyrics bringing those from different languages closer to one another unified in ONE FAITH through the amazing hand of God. Craft’s artistic vision is a vision of “Love Thy Neighbor,” relating to the US and Latin American relationship pushing both cultures to work together and love one another.
After the release of the album, Craft toured the Border States and Latin America for six weeks " spreading the love of God to more than just the people of America, unifying those from different cultural backgrounds under one Love, under one God."
Evan Craft won’t be done with his work after this record, so keep an ear out for more albums to come that may feature both English and Spanish lyrics from this rising star.”
"It's an exciting time in my life being able to work with such wonderful and talented people, but there is an unsurpassed joy of being in the pocket of where God has me right now. This CD is the journey of testing God's grace to being thrown to my knees by the weight of not deserving grace at all. This whole adventure is rolled up into the inspired melodies to encourage people's hearts by my own experiences. If someone can listen to "Broken Heart" and be comforted or be set on fire by "Reclaimed" to fight human injustice then it's done it's job. Please tune your heart to the rhythms of this album and enjoy my finest work yet!" - Evan Craft
