Biography
Lovett "Vett" Evans is a music industry professional born and raised in the Bronx borough of New York City. Vett was raised on the sounds of samples in the golden era of hip-hop and the stories of his dad as a band manager and drum playing in Harlem with Teddy Riley. Unknowingly, the seeds of him becoming a music producer was planted and by 14 Vett knew what he wanted to produce music but he didn't know how. Eager to start producing Lovett researched free software to get going but didn't find anything sufficient until he met a friend in high school who showed him Fruityloops. At first, Fruityloops seemed really complex but his excitement pushed him into mastering the software. Lovett eventually learned to master other DAW's like Protools, Logic, and Reason, which he includes into his work today.
In 2004, Vett found himself interning at Mantis Media, formally known as Native, out of interest in learning how to engineer recording sessions. In his early days at Mantis Media, Vett found himself unhappy; he wasn't doing what he intended to do.

After a few months of running errands, Craig Chan, his mentor noticed Vett's dedication and strong performance. From time to time, his mentor would ask him to set up for a session.

In 2006, After graduating high school, Vett and his friends formed a record label with more experienced professionals. The called it Xposja Entertainment. The label took off fast becoming a home to 9 artist where Vett was the music producer responsible for the sound of each artist individually. It was by nature that Vett was able to create an array of stylistic production. He loved the flexibility and the idea that he as a producer wouldn't be known as a 1-dimensional music producer. As his skills developed as a music producer he was forced to pick up his skills as an audio engineer. He not only produced the music, he recorded and mixed the songs for the large group as well.
