Bio: Evan Voytas is an LA-based singer/multi-instrumentalist. Born in rural Pennsylvania, Evan was raised on the oldies, listening to his father’s cassette tapes of Elvis and ... (more) the Righteous Brothers. As a teenager, he discovered jazz. At age 18, he moved to Harlem where he immersed himself in various religious texts and 70’s new age paperbacks. He grew a beard, moved to the desert, moved back, shaved the beard, played lead guitar for a few pop acts, toured the world, moved to a farmhouse on a dirt road in Pennsylvania, started recording music, and finally ended up in Los Angeles. 

Since then, Voytas has released a series of self-produced EPs and singles. His latest single, “Sad, Like Hearts Can Be,” has "a big, booming drum beat, warm tones, and twinkly synth lines that sounds aligned with like-minded fellow L.A. artist HYPERLINK "http://pitchfork.com/artists/28560-active-child/" t "_blank" Active Child," according to Pitchfork. There is a full-length ready for release later in the year.
