EVAN Launches New Era with “Star Below (Feat. pH-1)”

EVAN, formerly known as PLUMA, has officially released his latest single, “Star Below (Feat. pH-1).” This marks his debut under the moniker EVAN and his first release after signing with AT AREA, announced exclusively via Variety. The release of “Star Below” signals a transformative phase for EVAN as he embarks on a bold new chapter in his career. AT AREA, a pioneering music label based in Seoul, Korea—founded by powerhouse producer duo GroovyRoom—announced their signing of EVAN earlier this week. The label continues to redefine musical landscapes by collaborating with top-tier artists, brands, and creatives worldwide. With EVAN joining their roster, AT AREA reaffirms its commitment to fostering innovative talent and pushing creative boundaries.

Co-written by EVAN and pH-1, and composed by EVAN, Noisy Choice, and pH-1, “Star Below” captures the exhilarating moment of locking eyes with someone in the audience during a live performance. The track’s immersive soundscape, infused with raw emotion and wonder, takes listeners on an unforgettable journey. The vocoder-infused chorus and electronic drop heighten the sense of euphoria, leaving a cinematic impression that lingers long after the song ends.

After building a name for himself as PLUMA, EVAN now ventures into uncharted musical territory. Known for his distinct melodic rap and emotionally charged lyricism, he is expanding his sonic palette under AT AREA’s creative umbrella. His new sound blends Alternative Pop, Electro Pop, and Rock, creating a unique identity that distinguishes him from his peers. Drawing inspiration from 2000s and 2010s pop icons and bands, EVAN balances nostalgia with cutting-edge production techniques, showcasing his artistic versatility.

Beyond his solo work, EVAN has made significant contributions as a songwriter and producer for various artists. To name a few, his co-writing credits include “Attitude” by HyunA, “IG” by GroovyRoom (feat. GEMINI, DAWN, Jay Park & Vince), “Turtle” by BLASÉ (feat. Chungha), and “Yes or No” by GroovyRoom (feat. Huh Yunjin & Crush). With his rebrand and the release of “Star Below,” EVAN solidifies his place as a dynamic force in the evolving music industry.
