Early life

edit

She attended the BRIT School.[1]

Career

edit

In 2021 she collaborated with production duo About That on a remix of 'Who Let The Dogs Out' that achieved viral notability after a video circulated social media of Andrew Lloyd Webber playing the track at a DJ set on Broadway to celebrate the reopening of Phantom Of The Opera at Majestic Theatre, New York[2].

In October 2022 it was announced via Music Week[3] that Becky Hill had selected her song 'Vivid' to be the debut release on Lady Of The House record label. Subsequently, she performed 'Vivid' at Amsterdam Dance Event later that month.

In 2024, she was the recipient of PRS Foundation's HITMAKER award.

On 13th March 2025, she released "Angels" with Armin van Buuren and Punctual. In a review, We Rave You called the song "a progressive house masterpiece" & praised the vocals saying "EVALINA delivers a vocal performance that is quite frankly out of this world[4]". EDMTunes called it "extraordinary[5]".

In 2025, she created the alias WHAT EVA.
