Bio
Describing her music as "piano driven (with serious chops on that front) and a sweet, slightly airy voice that lets her songs of adoration move with grace beyond the status quo," Worship Leader Magazine notes that "listeners will hear bits of Twila Paris and overtones of Vanessa Carlton, but brought together, they form a sweet sounding tone that has its own musical mark.”
About
Since the release of her 2006 debut project, Evie Haskell quickly caught the attention of Worship Leader Magazine (WLM), SongDISCovery, and others in the music industry. WLM praised her album saying, "Evie is a new worship artist that enters like a fresh breeze on the Christian music scene."
The styles of Evie's songs, inspired by her own life experiences and walk of faith, reflect a combination of contemporary pop, worship, and even sometimes evoke a sacred hymn-like quality that is sure to stand the test of time. Raised in a minister's family on the East Coast, Evie is the youngest of three sisters where dad was both pastor and principal during her elementary years of school.
Shortly after moving to Portland, Oregon at age seven, Evie was heard playing The Entertainer on the family's old upright piano with both hands. Not long after that, she was enrolled in private piano lessons which she continued through college. Evie grew up singing and playing in the church, and started to write songs in middle school. It wasn't until high school that she began sharing her songs with others and leading worship services on a weekly basis at the Christian high school she attended. Her songwriting and piano playing earned her a scholarship to attend Bethany University in Santa Cruz, CA.
With the encouragement of her music pastor, Evie attended Gospel Music Association's, Music in the Rockies in August 2005 and she entered the competition as a songwriter. Her success at the event made the Lord's calling on her life more clear. Evie was encouraged by Sarah Kelly, Margaret Becker, Paul Baloche, and Billy Smiley to continue pursuing singing as well as songwriting. Within a few months, Evie was on her way to Nashville to record her first full-length album, My Beautiful Everything.
Doors continue to open for Evie and her songwriting continues to receive positive reviews. After just learning that Until Then received First Place with Contemporary Christian Music International's songwriting contest, an announcement was made in March 2007 that she had received Album of the Year from Indieheaven.com, and soon followed an invitation to open for Grammy award winning, Third Day at a concert on the East Coast. Her song, Talk Me Home, won the Adult Contemporary genre and was one of the top ten 2007 finalists with songoftheyear.com.
