Artist Spotlight – Anthony Evans

Born and raised in Dallas as the third of four children, 30-year-old Anthony grew up in a family of great achievers. His father, Dr. Tony Evans, is the founder and president of the internationally syndicated radio and television program "The Alternative" and senior pastor of the more than 8,000-member Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. His mother, Lois, is the executive vice president of The Urban Alternative.

Younger brother Jonathan, father of 1, plays NFL football and is a speaker and mentor.

Growing up singing, Anthony's musical career took a more serious turn after college when he began a two-year stint as a vocalist with TRUTH. Next he toured for four years as a vocalist for good friend and gospel music sensation Kirk Franklin. His performances with Kirk, including "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Soul Train," and appearances on the Grammy, Stellar and Dove Award telecasts have become invaluable learning experiences. Anthony's other musical influences vary from Amy Grant, Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith to Commissioned, Andre' Crouch and The Winans.

For the past six years Anthony has been a solo artist; writing, arranging, and singing around the globe. He has recorded 4 albums: "Even More", "Letting Go", "The Bridge," his debut Christmas album "What Christmas Means" and most recently "Undisguised" released in January 2010.

Anthony has teamed with varying organizations including the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, Lifeway, Women of Faith, Promise Keepers, and many more, as his heart and their messages have crossed.
