About Me

THIS IS ANOTHER DAY!In September 2007 my debut album "This is another day" was released. Out of 12 songs, 11 was written by me. It has been quite an experience, making this record, and I feel truly blessed to have the chance to work with such excellent musicians along the way! Some of Swedens finest singers have willingly and generously shared their beautiful voices with me, such as Ida Sandlund, Sharon Dyall, Johanna Gard and Christos Gontevas. I also had the great honor to work with John Stoddart, currently reciding in Washington D.C, who produced "It's not in vain", which we recorded as a duet.The song "It's not in vain" was actually previously recorded and released on the ep "I'm not giving in". This was in 2004, and that's when the collaboration with the producer of "This is another day", Magnus Ahlgren, started. He also produced "Testimony", an ep containing 4 songs.Said about "This is another day":Her pop/r'n'b music with gospel flavor has overcome all competition in my cd player these past weeks. And I don't get tired! She has the voice, the ability of handicrafting melodies and putting together the arrangements. And producer Magnus Ahlgren makes it all fall into place with perfect sensitivity. (Carl-Henric Jaktlund, swedish music journalist)A very nice blend of languishing ballads and beaty r'n'b. The finishing duet with John Stoddart is gloriusly bombastic and emotional and makes me think of R. Kelly's grandiose productions.

Sounds Like: Welcome to my space! I'm glad you've found your way here, and I hope you will stay for a while. I'm a singer, songwriter, producer and teacher and I love every part of my life. I've been singing all of my life and was introduced to great singers like Barbra Streisand, Dolly Parton and Amy Grant at a very early age. I remember listening to Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Take 6 in the late 80's and how I was swept off my feet... I had never heard anything like it! Those are the singers who really made an impact on me and whom I still admire a lot today.Writing took off pretty late in my life - I was around 20. Since then I have found that songwriting is a way of working up what's going on inside of me, and around me, and it's a great way of expressing my thoughts on things.The most important thing to me is to stay true to myself and to what I believe is my destiny. I hope you will be inspired by this site and by my music. Please let me know if it has touched you in any way - That's the reason why I sing!Love, Evelina
