"Since the day Evan was born he traveled with the music.” 

Songwriter and producer Evan Klar is obsessed! The young Australian spends all his time producing music, for himself and for others - now far beyond intercontinental borders. He currently lives and commutes between Berlin and Melbourne. Life as a modern nomad may not always be easy, but Evan had the best teachers: his parents. The constant chaos that this creates even gives him a relaxed approach to songwriting, as he finds a lot of inspiration between time zones. But back to the family: Evan Klar has being a cosmopolitan in his DNA!

At the age of 18, the mother, who was extremely passionate about music, moved from Perth, Australia, to Bielefeld, where she met Evan's tall and already eccentric father, who, like her, was packing boxes in a warehouse. To cut a long story short: the two got married, studied, became teachers and moved to Perth, where Evan was born. When the boy was one year old, his parents were offered a job in Singapore. Evan rolled after him on a piece of wood. Over the years it became clear: Singapore was the ideal adventure playground for a fast-growing skateboarder.

After high school, Evan moved to Bielefeld. He wanted to trace his German roots and get to know his family better. History seems to repeat itself: like his parents at his current age, he started working in a factory, oiling, measuring and cleaning strange-looking metal parts. It was tough school for an 18-year-old from another world, but Evan Klar learned quickly. He also gave bass lessons. One of his students was Jochen, a 50-year-old work colleague who soon confessed to the open-hearted Australian that he had been working for the same salary as Evan for 30 years. Jochen quickly convinced Evan: "You can do more than this!" The young bass teacher quit his job at the factory and left Germany for London.

He quickly found friends in the bustling music scene of the British capital, was hired as a musician and toured the most important stages in the country across the UK: Glastonbury, Big Chill and The Great Escape. Evan played for bands such as Primary One, Charlie XCX and Alex Metric. Despite the instructive crash course in this new world, Evan did not feel comfortable just playing other artists' music. He decided to go his own way with his subtle indie pop, which he had always been tinkering with in the background. Evan Klar's music grew carefully, and with a sure instinct and a lot of patience the globetrotter puts together entire sound worlds: "Pop music reminds me of playing with Lego as a child: you put brick on brick." His approach seems light-hearted, but his lyrics reveal a very personal depth alongside an insatiable curiosity. These levels go well together: you feel safe when you listen to it.

But homesickness takes hold of him: Evan longs for the relaxed life in Australia. He moves back to Melbourne to spend more time with his brother and family. But music, as Evan has learned, knows no boundaries: Between surfing, skating and climbing, he records his debut album "Deepest Creatures" and goes on tour with his own band. At the same time, he builds a studio that becomes his Australian headquarters. During this time he meets Konstantin Kersting from "Tones & I". His new friend mixes the current single "I Do", which Evan wrote recently on a trip to Europe. The song is co-produced by Tobias Kuhn and Nikolai Potthoff (Milky Chance, ...). The production process is refreshingly idiosyncratic: Evan's indie pop is recorded with a pocket synthesizer and a broken bass guitar, and the Australian records the vocals on his cell phone. The track tells the story of a young woman who abruptly says goodbye to her dreary life and burns down her house in order to resolutely search for a better future.

Evan Klar currently commutes and works between Melbourne and Berlin, where he is supported by Monchique, a sub-label of Grönland Records – an independent label that promotes his vision and relaxed way of making music.

Evan Klar's pop music shines brightly, is experimental and always comes from the heart.
