Evanie Visits Section 36 Music!

Bruno Courtin

Section 36 Music has another visitor! Evanie is an incredible artist whose single, "Why So Dense?", is one that you need to stream as soon as you can. I was flattered that she wanted to visit with us to discuss the single and more. I'm sure you'll love what she had to say.

So, let's see what happens when Evanie visits Section 36 Music!

I absolutely love your recent single, “Why So Dense?”. What can you tell me about it?

Thank you so much! Why So Dense? is about not taking life too seriously. As a former overthinker, I wanted to write something for people who are always tense, always planning the next move — when sometimes, what you really need is just to relax and dance.

Lately, my motto has been: every moment is precious — one at a time. It helps me stay grounded and appreciate the gift of being alive, even though my ambition and dreams are always carved into my mind. I produced and promoted the track entirely on my own, and it’s actually a teaser for a bigger project coming in late 2025, a debut EP…

Do you have a favorite memory from the recording process?

I remember during my recording sessions just dancing hysterically while I was singing, alone in the studio I felt like a crazy lady but I was having the best time ever, moving with the music. I love the whole process: from creating the lead melody to tweaking the smallest detail of a sound in just one ear. Every time I create a song, it feels like I was made to do it. That spark — that feeling of being alive — is what I live for.

You will be attending Berklee College of Music. What made Berklee the right choice for you?

Three reasons. First, the location — going to the U.S. has been my biggest dream for years. I even learned English during COVID by watching the same movie 50 times! (I’m also fluent in Spanish and Italian.) Second, Berklee offers a rare mix of community spirit and academic excellence. And finally, I want every chance on my side. To me, Berklee is the greatest opportunity I could give myself to become an international artist. It provides the knowledge, the industry connections, and the experience I need to build the career I dream of.

Who or what would you consider your biggest musical influences?

Career-wise, Charlie Puth is my dream model — I want to tour the world as a performer while producing my own music and for other great artists. I want to be the female Charlie Puth. Music production is still dominated by men, and I want to be part of the generation that changes that. I also admire Quincy Jones — his story, his determination — it’s deeply inspiring. Vocally, I love Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, and Jorja Smith.

What is the most challenging part of your music career?

Definitely wearing all the hats at once: producing, writing, performing, promoting… Being independent means doing everything on your own, and it’s intense. Staying emotionally open while constantly trying to prove yourself is also a challenge. But I turn that vulnerability into strength — that’s what makes my music honest. And I’m confident I’ll build a strong team soon. I’m incredibly driven by my ambition to bring women to the top of the music production field.

What are your immediate musical goals?

Right now, I’m focused on finishing and releasing my debut EP, creating a live set I’m proud of, and building a real connection with my audience — especially those who’ve ever felt like outsiders. I want to get playlisted, play small venues, and collaborate with other artists. Long-term, I’d love to score a film or create a concept album. But right now, it’s all about laying a strong foundation and growing a loyal fanbase.

Consider me in that growing fanbase!

As always, I want to thank Evanie for visiting with us, and for sending along the pictures to accompany the interview.

I'm sure you’ll all want to follow her and see what she has going on. I would follow her on Instagram and Spotify, and visit her website to make sure you don't miss a thing. 

Thanks, Evanie, and good luck reaching your goals!
