With roots in the Caribbean but feet planted in the U.S., Evan Belize brings you a hybrid take on Caribbean Folk, reggae, funk & ol' fashioned balladeering...some songs more mellow & acoustic, some full of infectious percussion rhythms & dancing power.
Bio / Background
Evan Belize was born in what then was the British Honduras, and now is Belize, to Gwendolyn Fortune and Benel Trapp. His grandmother was from Gales Point Manatee, a little peninsula, connected to Dangriga. When he was a child, Evan's mother would take him there for frequent visits. Evan's early world was packed with a lot of true stories told by those great poets: Song, Dance, Rhythm and Vision.
Evan attended church with his grandmother, a Seventh-Day Adventist, his mother, a Catholic, and sometimes with his mother, sometimes on his own, he attended what was called a Jump-Up Church, the Church of God in Christ. That is where the music in him was uncovered. A combination of black Women, Jamaican, Belizean, and American, put those rhythms together, and he got hypnotized. There was no turning back. Because of that church, he got a chance to perform in many plays early in his childhood.He remembers playing Joseph, and also little Moses. He remembers playing a child who was baptized.
