Anthony Evans
Growing up singing, Anthony's musical history took a more serious turn during his college years as part of Liberty University's Sounds of Liberty, followed by a two-year stint as a vocalist with TRUTH. Anthony has also traveled with his father, Dr. Tony Evans, renowned pastor, author, and speaker, performing more than 50 solo dates a year at some of the nation's largest churches and conferences, including a recent performance in front of President Bush, who spoke at an event to celebrate Dr. Evans' Project Turn Around initiative at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Church in Dallas, Texas.
Recently as a background vocalist for good friend and gospel music sensation Kirk Franklin, Anthony began to gain a new understanding of the music industry. 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.
Born and raised in Dallas as the third of four children, 25-year-old Anthony grew up in an entire family of great achievers. His mom, Lois (who has a doctorate of her own), is the executive vice president of The Urban Alternative. He has three siblings - his sister Chrystal is an accountant and mother of three while Priscilla is a writer with Moody Press and Lifeway, traveling the country speaking at events with Anne Graham Lotz, Liz Curtis Higgs, Kay Arthur, among numerous others. Younger brother Jonathan is a celebrated football player for Baylor University. Still living today in the same house they've had since Anthony was three, Dr. and Mrs. Evans raised a strong, close-knit family, which has created an unbinding family legacy.
Anthony has watched his parents' ministry grow exponentially over the past 25 years. Dr. Tony Evans is also founder and president of the internationally syndicated radio and television program "The Urban Alternative" and senior pastor of the more than 7,000-member Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. Dr. Evans is also a regular speaker at Promise Keepers events and at conferences around the world. Highly regarded in evangelical circles, Dr. Evans was the first African-American to graduate with a doctoral degree from Dallas Theological Seminary.
