EvaEva is a world music artist, singer,
producer, and composer. She is classically trained, having played piano
at age 7, violin at age 9, and then flute. "From as early as I can remember, the rhythms and melodies of Brazil have been a listening necessity - kind of like a need for water or food, and I can NOT stay seated when samba is playing! Indian music and culture were not far behind in becoming part of my life too (highlighted by the always-fabulous Bhangra beat and Bollywood style), and so that has also taken an important role in the sound and overall experience of my work. Through her parents, (Googie and Tom Coppola) EvaEva was exposed to a broad spectrum of great musicians. To name a few; The Average White Band ('77 Montreux Jazz Festival), Herbie Mann , Todd Rundgren, Chick Corea, Pat Matheny, The Brecker Brothers, Steve Gadd, Jan Hammer, Manu DiBango, Eumir Deodato, Sammy Figueroa, Airto Moreira and Flora Purim , Hermeto Pascoal, and Creed Taylor. From 1983-1987, EvaEva studied Flute with
Julius Baker and Brad Garner at The Juilliard School.
While a student at Juilliard, she performed with Jean-Pierre Rampal
and a flute chorus at Carnegie Hall. From the late 80’s to early
90’s, EvaEva could be seen spinning hot tracks at the Palladium,
Limelight, Red Zone, Shout, City, Tavern On The Green, and the Rainbow
Room. EvaEva is also talented as an actress and dancer. She was
hired as a child singer for commercials, has performed in plays, musicals,
operettas, and has been trained classically in ballet and tap. In 1999,
EvaEva starred in and co-produced the independent short film, "The Crown
and Bell". Among those who have recorded with her
are Cyro Baptista, Gil Goldstein, and Dominguinhos.
EvaEva has traveled frequently to Brazil, where she recorded "Friends
Always". She lived in São Paulo for three months in 2000, during which
time she performed with Jorge Ben Jor. In 2005, EvaEva collaborated
with Matt Pierson, recording 4 songs for EMI Music. |
