UKIAH BEATS

I got my start in Oklahoma City as a rapper, originally releasing music under the alias EVAJ MUSIC. At the time, I didn’t know any producers, so I borrowed one of my dad’s pianos and began teaching myself how to make music. That’s when I discovered I had a natural gift for producing.

I started working with local artists in my hometown, creating records that eventually landed on the local radio station. Driven to take my craft to the next level, I relocated to Florida to attend Full Sail University for Recording Arts.

While in Florida, I worked as a sound engineer for corporate events, live bands, and churches — all while continuing to release my own music. I dropped two projects, performed across Florida and Atlanta, and began building momentum as both an artist and producer.

My first sync placement came on the UCF Sports Show from my albums THE TIME IS NOW and T.A.P.E D.E.C.K. Soon after, I collaborated with SoulPlusMind and ClintMusic, leading to multiple placements across major networks including MTV, VH1, BET, and Netflix.

As my career evolved, I transitioned from EVAJ MUSIC to my production company name, Ukiah Beats — which means “U Know It’s A Hit” — to create clarity and consistency across my work.

Today, I’m syncing my hit single “DA LIGHT,” collaborating with artists to create songs for both Billboard potential and visual media, and continuing to expand my catalog for sync opportunities.

When I’m not writing and producing music, I work as a professional sound engineer and run an educational platform for upcoming producers called Beat Making Basics.
