Evann McIntosh

Evann McIntosh (they/them) mixes dark alt-pop and dreamy R&B with streaks of hip-hop, jazz, and funk, grappling with growth and evolution, gender identity and sexuality, freedom, and self-expression. Their writing is as insightful as it is unpredictable, alternating between earnest poeticism and playful acrobatics, and the production is similarly adventurous, wrapping their performances in lush, magnetic arrangements. Even at its most densely layered, the music remains a work of pure intimacy, unravelling the mysteries of their psyche one song at a time. McIntosh’s acclaimed EP, MOJO, racked up more than 60 million streams in part due to the viral TikTok success of lead single “What Dreams Are Made Of.” Their latest album, "Fantasy Fuel", produced by Abe Rounds (Joni Mitchell, Meshell Ndegeocello, Blake Mills), features an all-star cast of players including Meshell Ndegeocello, Madison Cunningham, Jeff Parker, Josh Johnson + Jake Sherman.
