"What makes Anthony's music incredible is his voice. What makes his ministry incredible is his heart. What makes his message incredible is his walk with the Lord." — Franklin Graham

Those kinds of statements aren't made lightly. They don't come without merit. In Anthony Evans' case, these words couldn't ring more true.

It's not every day that a new talent emerges with as much promise and inspiration as this Dallas, Texas native. Yet, Anthony Evans never thought he'd be here. He couldn't have forecasted this future had he been asked to do so just a few years ago. With that said, the June 8th, 2004 release of his inspiring INO Records debut, Even More, is an accomplishment for which he takes very little credit.

"I realize now that God has orchestrated everything," says Anthony. "Sometimes we don't see it, but He's painting this whole picture for us as long as we allow Him to do it. I had come to the place where I could listen to Him say, 'Anthony, just trust Me.'

"God has taken me out of my comfortable Christian environment and through this, I've realized I can't stand on my own. Without God as the focal point of my life, everything was and is pointless. I still can't fathom the depth of His unconditional love for me and that God accepts me just as I am. Each song on Even More captures a dimension of this experience and how it has affected my life."

With music always in the Evans' house, Anthony deems it an honor to have been exposed to a plethora of musical flavors. From Amy Grant, Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith to Comissioned, Andre' Crouch and The Winans, these genres helped Anthony develop his own unique style.

"It was a challenge to get the right balance of styles that represented my experience in Christian music," Anthony explains. "We worked hard at making sure the record was an accurate reflection of who I am musically and lyrically. Stylistically, there's something for everyone. Even More encompasses many of the influences that I grew up enjoying and is a reflection on how these styles have characterized my music and my life."
