Combining his versatility as a singer, thoughtfulness as a writer, and progressive thinking as a producer, Everson successfully released his sucessfuldebut EP this past March.

Garnering over 1 million plays and attention from the likes of OWSLA, Laidback Luke and Martin Garrix in just a few months, it opened a new world of possibilities for him as a songwriter and vocalist. Everson is currently preparing a follow-up EP set for release this Winter.
