Evan Papier

So I'm Evan Papier.

I am from Rockville, Maryland.

I am 23 years young and been doing music my whole life.

I did American Idol back in season 20.

I was not happy with my experience, to say the least.

Needed someone to vent to.

We both were like looking for a fast forward in our careers of what to do next.

And then we just started talking about music and we just started the idea of maybe we should make a group together.

Zach had that low voice that we were really looking for to balance out all the different vocal parts of the group.

I think the creativity aspect of it, like it's a new side for people to see of the artists.

We wanted to show our experience of creating this band, but also navigating this journey through this process.

That is a very tough thing to do in this day and age, in this country right now.

We did a performance at the LA Kings game of the national anthem that we hope put doubts in anyone's mind that we're wondering if we're serious or not.

That we are an actual band.

We actually can perform, we can sing, we can dance.

We have talent behind us.

And I think it will let people see us in more of a serious light, including in that visa aspect.

And Darshan will just be that cherry on top.

We hope it will be enough, but we're just going to keep going.

I think that when it came to this idea, this band is not just us being a band to try singing all together.
