He kanaka R&B ʻAmelika a me rap artist ʻo GIVĒON i hoʻomaka i kāna ʻoihana ma 2018. I kona manawa pōkole i ke mele, ua hui pū ʻo ia me Drake, FATE, Snoh Aalegra a me nā Sensay Beats. ʻO kekahi o nā hana poina ʻole a ka mea pena, ʻo ia ka Chicago Freestyle track me Drake. Ma 2021, ua koho ʻia ka mea hoʻokani no ka Grammy Awards ma ka ʻāpana "Best R&B Artist".
He aha ka mea i ʻike ʻia e pili ana i ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio o Givon Evans?
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Givon Dizman Evans ma Pepeluali 21, 1995 i loko o kahi ʻohana lehulehu. Ua ulu ka mea hoʻokani ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Long Beach, aia ma Kaleponi. Ua haʻalele ka makua kāne i ka ʻohana i ka wā kamaliʻi o ka mea hoʻokani pila. No laila, hānai hoʻokahi kona makuahine a me ʻelua mau kaikunāne. Ma ke kamaʻilio e pili ana i kāna hānai ʻana, ua ʻike ʻo ia ua hoʻāʻo kona makuahine e hoʻokomo i nā ʻano maikaʻi loa i kāna mau keikikāne. Manaʻo ʻo ia e pale ana iā lākou. A mālama iā lākou mai ka hāʻule ʻana ma lalo o ke kaomi kaiapili o ka moʻomeheu gangster a me ka ʻilihune a lākou i ʻike ai i kēlā me kēia lā.
Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ke aloha nui o ka mea pena i ke mele e kona makuahine. ʻOiai i kona wā ʻōpiopio, ʻo Frank Sinatra kekahi o nā kiʻi koʻikoʻi o ka mea pena. Ua hoihoi ʻia ke kanaka e ka leo ikaika a huki ʻia o ka mea pena. Ma hope mai, ua ho'okomo ka makemake i nā leo jazz i ka ho'omaka 'ana o ka mea mele mele e hana i kāna iho baritone.
Ua puka ʻo Giwon mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Long Beach Polytechnic, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia ʻaʻole e loaʻa i ke kula kiʻekiʻe. I loko o kāna mau makahiki kula, ʻo kona makemake ʻelua ma hope o ke mele he haʻuki. He "fani" nui ka mea pena kiʻi i nā pāʻani kinipōpō. ʻO kāna mau mea pāʻani punahele ʻo Kyrie Irving lāua ʻo Jason Douglas.
I ka makahiki 18, ua komo ʻo Evans i kekahi o nā papahana mai The Grammy Museum. Pono ʻo ia e hīmeni i kahi mele. Ua manaʻo ke kumu aʻo o ka mea hoʻokani pila e koho ʻia ʻo Frank Sinatra e hoʻokani i ka Fly Me To The Moon. I ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, ua ʻike ka mea pena ʻo ia ke ala e makemake ai e hana. Ma hope mai, ua kamaʻāina ʻo ia i ka hana a Billy Caldwell lāua ʻo Barry White. ʻO kā lākou haku mele kekahi i hoʻoikaika i ke ʻano o ke ʻano o ka mea pena.
Ka hoomaka ana o ka oihana mele a GIVĒON
Ma hope o ka hana ʻana ma ke ʻano he papahana, ua hoʻoholo ka mea pena e lawe i ke mele. I kekahi manawa ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i ka manaʻo o kahi mea mele a me ka mea haku mele e hui pū ana me DJ Khalid a Just bieber. Ua lilo ʻo ia i kumu aʻoaʻo no kahi mea hoʻokani pila.
Mai kahi ninaninau no Billboard, ua ʻike ʻia ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea mele i kāna EP mua ma 2013. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa i kēia manawa. I ka wā mua, hele ka hapa nui o nā mele mele i ka papaʻaina, aia wale nō ma 2018 ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ʻelua mau mele mele. Ua kapa ʻia lākou ʻo Garden Kisses and Fields. Ua wehewehe ʻia nā haku mele ma ka pāpaʻi ʻo "ʻelua ala mālie, mālie, e hōʻike ana i ka leo kūʻokoʻa a me ka leo momona o ka mea mele."
Aia ma 2019, ua hoʻomaka ka mea pena e hana pū me Sevn Thomas. He mea hana kēia i ʻike ʻia ma ke kikowaena media no kona pilina me nā hōkū honua e like me DRAKE, Rihanna и ʻO Travis Scott.
Mahalo i kahi hōʻike ʻokoʻa a me ka nui o nā hoaaloha kūleʻa, ua kaulana nā mele a GIVĒON. I ka makahiki 2019, ua kono ʻo Sno Aalegra i ka mea hoʻokani e komo i kāna huakaʻi. Hāʻawi pū lāua i nā ʻahamele ma nā kūlanakauhale o ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau.
No kāna hana mele mua, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Evans penei:
"Ua aʻo au ma YouTube wale nō, ua kākau maoli au i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā" mea pena kiʻi maikaʻi loa o nā manawa āpau. A laila noʻonoʻo au i ka ʻokoʻa o kaʻu mele mai kā lākou. ʻO ke kaiapuni kūpono o kahi hui o nā luna hoʻokele i hoʻolalelale i kēia kaʻina hana. Laki wau i kā lākou hana pū me kekahi o nā mea hana maikaʻi loa o ka honua a hiki ke kono iaʻu i kā lākou hui. E hoʻolohe wale, e noho i loko o ka lumi kūpono, e lilo i sponge a e hoʻopau i kēia ʻike manuahi āpau no ka mea ua mākaukau nā kānaka e make no ia mea.
E hahai iā GIVĒON a me Drake Chicago Freestyle
ʻO kekahi o nā hana kaulana loa a ka mea pena i kēia lā, ʻo ia ka Chicago Freestyle track, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka rapper Drake. Hoʻopaʻa mua ʻia ma Pepeluali 2020, ua hoʻokuʻu nā mea pena i ke mele ma SoundCloud wale nō. A laila ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia i nā wahi āpau i Mei 2020 ma ke ʻano o ka Drake Dark Lane Demo Tapes mixtape. Ua hiki i ka haku mele ke lawe i ke kūlana 14 ma ka Billboard Hot 100 a loaʻa iā ia ka palapala kālā.
Ma kahi ninaninau, ua haʻi ʻo GIVĒON i ka loli ʻana o ka manaʻo o ka poʻe i ko lākou ʻike ʻana ua hīmeni ka mea pena me Drake. Ua haʻi ʻo ia:
"ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo he mea lapuwale wau, akā ua loli ke ʻano o ka poʻe. A ʻaʻole ma ke ʻano maikaʻi ʻole, akā hopohopo iki ka poʻe aʻu i kamaʻilio ai ma mua. ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu ke kumu. ʻOiai he nui nā mea i hana ʻia i loko o ʻelua mahina, he mea hoihoi ke ʻike i koʻu ʻike ʻana i kēia manawa. Ua like ia me ka mea pupule loa, pehea ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka ʻike i ka maka o ka maka."
ʻO ke mele i hoʻokani ʻia e ka mea pena he mau mele. I ka wā mua, i ka wā i puka mai ai ke mele, manaʻo nā mea a pau ua hīmeni ka mea hoʻokani pila o ka ʻEnelani ʻo Sampha. Ma hope mai, ua hoʻohālikelike pinepine ʻia ʻo Evans iā ia a ua kākau ʻia nā ʻōlelo e like me "This is Sampa". Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i hoʻopilikia iki i ka mea pena. Akā, ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia me kekahi o kāna mau kiʻi.
ʻO GIVĒON EP mua a me ka holomua pūnaewele
ʻO ka mini-album mua loa o ka mea hīmeni he hōʻiliʻili o nā mele ʻewalu Take Time. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma lalo o ka mana o nā lepili Epic Records and Not So Fast. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka lā Malaki 27, 2020, a i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ʻApelila ua lanakila ʻo ia ma luna o ka palapala Billboard Heatseekers. Noho ka EP ma ka helu ʻekahi no ʻekolu pule. Ma hope iki, ua lawe ʻo ia i ka 1th kūlana ma ka palapala Billboard 35. Ua loaʻa i ka hana nā loiloi maikaʻi he nui, ʻo ka hapa nui o ka poʻe hoʻohewa i kapa ʻia ʻo ia he "hauʻoli" a "polani".
Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka mini-album i nā mele mele Heartbreak Anniversary a me Like I Want You i kaulana loa. ʻO Heartbreak Anniversary kahi mele hoʻomaha i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma Pepeluali 2020. Eia naʻe, loaʻa ka kaulana nui ma hope. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2021, hele ka mele ma TikTok. Ma Malaki 2021, ua ʻoi aku ka mele ma mua o 143 miliona kahawai, me 97 miliona ma Spotify.
Aia i Kepakemapa 2020, ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka lua o ka EP When It's All Said and Done. Loaʻa iā ia he 4 mau mele a piʻi i ka helu 93 ma ka Billboard 200, a lilo i hana mua a ka mea pena e komo i ka pakuhi. I loko o kēia manawa like, ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Evans i ka manawa e hoʻokūkū ai no ka Grammy Awards 2021. Ua koho ʻia kāna EP Take Time i ka Best R&B Album category. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka mea lanakila ma ka hui ʻo Bigger Love na John Legend.
