About Giveon

Giveon Dezmann Evans was born February 21, 1995 in Long Beach, California, the second-largest city in Los Angeles County and a longstanding hub of Southern California R&B, funk, and West Coast hip-hop dating back to the Snoop Dogg, Warren G, and Nate Dogg era of the early 1990s. He grew up in Long Beach raised by his mother alongside two brothers, attended public school in the city, and cited Frank Sinatra, Sam Cooke, and the classic American songbook baritone tradition alongside contemporary R&B vocalists as the foundational influences on the deep-register vocal approach that has defined the catalogue. He trained as a vocalist through the Grammy Museum's youth programs in Los Angeles in his late teens, developing the controlled baritone phrasing and the smooth lower-register melodic delivery that sit at the center of the recorded work. He signed to Epic Records through manager and creative partner Sevn Thomas, the Toronto-based producer with credits across Rihanna, Drake, and Travis Scott catalogues, in the late 2010s, and released the breakout Take Time EP in March 2020 — the eight-track project anchored by Heartbreak Anniversary, the slow-burn ballad that became a multi-platinum streaming standard and one of the most-Shazamed R&B songs of the year on the strength of TikTok and Instagram Reels usage that ran for months after release. The follow-up EP When It's All Said and Done landed in October 2020 and was bundled with Take Time as a combined project for the Grammy cycle; the combined When It's All Said... Take Time release was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 63rd Grammy Awards in 2021. His Drake feature on Chicago Freestyle from the March 2020 Dark Lane Demo Tapes mixtape brought him into the broader hip-hop streaming conversation and introduced his voice to listeners who arrived through the Drake catalogue rather than the R&B charts. The March 2021 Justin Bieber single Peaches, featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, became one of the defining pop singles of that year — number one on the Billboard Hot 100, multi-platinum globally, and Grammy nominated across multiple categories including Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 64th Grammy Awards in 2022, with the track winning Best Pop Solo Performance for Bieber. Giveon's debut studio album Give or Take arrived in June 2022 — a sixteen-track project anchored by the single Lie Again, which lived on the Billboard Hot 100 for an extended chart run, plus tracks including For Tonight, Make You Mine, and Tryna Be. The album debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and pushed his touring profile into theater and small arena tier. The 2025 album Beloved continued the catalogue across new material with the same baritone-anchored R&B production palette. He has been credited with helping re-center contemporary R&B around the slow-tempo balladry that the streaming-era charts had moved away from earlier in the decade, and has been routinely cited alongside Daniel Caesar, H.E.R., SZA, and Brent Faiyaz as part of the generation of R&B artists who pushed the genre back onto the pop charts through the early 2020s.
