Since October 2007, this multi-faceted singer/songwriter/producer and videographer, has managed to accomplish what few in the dance music industry have… Evan Cowden has visited the top of international dance AND video charts as a recording artist, a producer, AND a video director. His creative vision has contributed to the careers and chart topping successes of dance/pop music’s finest performers including 15 time no.1 Billboard dance chart record holder Kristine W., as well as Jeanie Tracy, Pepper MaShay, Suzanne Palmer, and super star DJ’s The Perry Twins. He has collaborated with some of the most recognized and celebrated musicians in the recording industry including: 1997 Billboard Producer of the Year and Grammy nominated/multi-platinum producer , GEZA X (The Dead Kennedys, Blackflag, Josie ‘Johnny are you Queer’ Cotton and Meredith Brookes’ triple platinum hit single ‘BITCH”), PAUL ROESSLER (The Screamers, Nina Hagen), Grammy nominated producer and remixer JULIAN MARSH, Grammy winning remix and production team KLUBLUMPERS (Madonna, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears) and most recently, BESTY ULMER (Dolly Parton) and JAN PULSFORD. Jan Pulsford has lent her keyboard talents to such ground breaking bands as The Thompson Twins, Banarama and The Buggles, but she is perhaps most well known for the 20+ songs that she has penned with songwriting partner and long time collaborator CYNDI LAUPER. These songs embody some of Lauper’s most critically acclaimed work from her ‘SISTERS OF AVALON’, ‘SHINE’ and ‘12 DEADLY CYNS’ era.
