Saint Evo is an Artist and a DJ/Producer hailing from the savannah plains of Kajiado County, home of the famed Maasai people, in the Republic of Kenya. Being the energetic choleric-sanguine DJ/Producer that he is, Saint Evo is celebrated as one of the pioneer producers of the Afro House sound in East Africa. In 2020, he was ranked number 8 on the Traxsource Top 100 Afro House Producers chart. On his debut year on Traxsource, Saint Evo was ranked number 41 on the Afro House Top 100 Artists for the year 2018 and this was followed up with a ranking of number 21 on the Afro House Top 100 Artists for the year 2019. These rankings have confirmed that he is the leading Afro House Producer in the East African region and that he is making a positive mark on the Afro House scene at large. According to Saint Evo, musical freedom is a priceless commodity that demands constant vigilance at the altar of creativity in order to guarantee its longevity. As such, Saint Evo endeavors to capture and acoustically materialize sounds from the Equatorial region of Africa, fusing them with vocals from renowned unique artists such as Viiiictor May (South Africa), Audius (Australia), Venessa Jackson (South Africa), Nomvula SA (South Africa), FLERIIN (Russia), Tabia (South Africa), Crescent Von Croon (South Africa), Lizwi (South Africa), Idd Aziz (Kenya), Rocio Starry (Spain), Toshi (South Africa), RubyGold (South Africa), Kwame (Kenya), Madigari (Namibia) amongst others, in the creation of musical works that reflect the redolent recondite narratives of this African region. In his exploration of the fusion of sounds from the Equator and other spaces, Saint Evo continually seeks to collaborate with an array of producers and percussionists from around the globe. Thus far, he has worked with Coflo (USA), DJ 84 (South Africa), Mtsepisto (Swaziland) Stopher CM (South Africa), Freddy Da Stupid (Mozambique), Over12 (Portugal), Shona SA (Zimbabwe), Benjy (France), Cocosoul (South Africa), Chinjong X Chinjong (Cameroon) amongst others. Correspondingly, Saint Evo's prescient vision has been to evangelize to the world this Equatorial sound. In this vein, the past few years have witnessed his musical productions making a mark on the international Afro House music scene, where he has released musical gems with reputable record labels from Africa, Europe & North America. In 2019, Saint Evo launched his own record label, Celsius Degree Records. As a DJ, his sets are characterized by an array of African drums infused with smithereens of fecund slivers of synths and basslines of electronic music. Through his monthly show titled Talking Drums hosted on his Mixcloud channel, Saint Evo showcases Afro House music from Africa and the world that resonates with his musical philosophy.
