Born and raised in North Manchester, Kris Evans developed a passion for music from an early age. In 2006, Kris went to Manchester Music Base where he studied Music Production and Sound Engineering to enhance his craft. He passed with flying colours and left with even more enthusiasm to succeed. Kris has released numerous mix CDs and self-produced tracks.
2008 was a big year for Kris as he was scouted by Take That guru Nigel Martin Smith to join the Manchester-based band The Mend. The 4 piece went on to compete in Britain's Got Talent. They received a standing ovation at the auditions with their unique rendition of Otis Redding's 'Sitting on the Dock of the Bay' and went on to compete in the final.
The Mend then released their debut single, 'Where Were You?', which reached the UK Top 40 receiving great feedback from local and national radio stations including Radio 1.
Their performances on BGT caught the attention of The X-Factor winners Little Mix who invited The Mend to support them on their DNA tour.
In 2016, Kris released his first solo track in over 10 years '#HappyKristmas' which gained over 30k views in its first 24 hours. Radio 1 DJ Charlie Sloth also named unreleased track 'Nothing Changes' as his Record of the Week.
Kris has recently released his latest track, ‘Who’s That Boy’, which has been picked up by BBC Introducing.
Kris has big plans ahead including releasing more new music and exciting live performances.
