About Atia Evans
Atia was born in Ohio to Pastor George Evans and his wife Sandra. At a very young age she developed an uncanny ability to develop complicated rhyme schemes in the form of poetry. Spending countless hours in her notebook she honed her skills and perfected them. Shortly there after she was introduced to Hip Hop and a spark would soon give way to a fire in her soul.
Atia also found growth in her father's ministry. The constant relocation allowed her to experience life in various parts of the country. These events added multiple dimensions to her writing, giving it wisdom and character. It also enabled her to witness alternate musical styles which she could incorporate in her own identity as a Hip Hop artist. However, being the daughter of responsible parents, who are also devout Christians did prove to be an obstacle. They didn't want "worldly" music to corrupt Atia's spirit.
Atia wouldn't be denied, her pursuit get stronger. If she wasn't writing her own lyrics she was desperately seeking new music and true artists to satisfy her Hip Hop jones. She began freestylin' whenever she could find a circle of emcees and performing at parties in high school for fun. High school was fun, but college was explosive. Stakes were higher and fun became wreckin' the mic for money and bragging rights.
After graduation she returned to her parents home in Cincinnati and found a job teaching, but she felt lost. Atia joined her father's church, Greater Harvest, and was born again in Christ. Her desire for music returned, stronger then ever, and now that she had found GOD, the combination couldn't fail. It was time to make a crucial impact in Hip Hop and dispel the Myths that "rappers" have given to the Hip Hop culture. Now the true Hip Hop Emcee is Born Again.
