Born and raised in Tampa, FL, Evan Cazes, known behind the decks as Evalution, first discovered his passion for music at eight years old. After pressing the keys of his father’s grand piano for the very first time, his infatuation with music grew exponentially. Evalution quickly took on other instruments such as guitar, bass, and drums, and eventually singing. He began to develop his musical style and personal tastes by learning to play songs from his early musical influences such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Doors and Pink Floyd. As Evalution continued improving his performance skills and expanding his knowledge of music, he was eventually exposed to the art of DJing. Within his first year at Florida State University, Evalution earned himself weekly residencies at Tallahassee’s premier nightlife venues: Potbelly’s Concert Garden, TENN Nightclub, Good Vibes
