Primarily an alternative hip hop artist and producer, he has become known for his stylistic diversity and energetic delivery within his vein of music.

He has headlined multiple concerts in the Boston area and has shared the stage with hip-hop legends including Joe Budden and Twista. His recent single “No Life,” a collaborative effort with New Jersey artist Dutchboy, has been featured on several radio shows nationwide and has been highlighted by the lucrative hip-hop media center Hip Hop DX. Evan Hughes has also won the Emerson College Theater Department Award for Best original musical composition, as well as “Best Original Score” in the independent film “A Girl Named Lucy.” His second LP, “B.L.E.S.S,” is set for release on June 10, 2017.
