Career

The title track of Take Me Home won the Island Music Award (Vancouver Island) for song of the year. It was included on the Women & Songs 8 collection, which included several famous female singers. An edited version of the "Take Me Home" video was used in a national commercial for Kids Help Phone, for which she is an "artist ambassador".

The video for her second single "I'm So Alone" has been popular on Much Music and Much More Music.

After releasing Take Me Home, she toured with fellow Canadian singers Keshia Chanté, Amanda Stott, and Cassie Steele across Canada in the summer of 2005.

Evans' second album, Push, was released across Canada on June 20, 2006. It included such hits as "Push" and "A Nation Redeemed".

In 2007 she was nominated for several GMA Canada Covenant Awards, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year, and Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year.

To promote the radio version of "Give It Up", Evans ran a music video competition from July through September 2007 on the website Dailymotion.com, giving an iPhone to the best entry. The winning submission was produced and directed by Aaron Matthew Kaiser and starred Priscila Netto as Evans in both dramatic and lip-syncing scenes.[1]

Her third EP, entitled Standing on the Edge, was released in 2008.
