hey there
i’m evan brody
i’m a creative strategist & integrated marketer for brands and bands.
Fueled by a tireless creative spirit and a motivation to put ideas into action, I love making dreams a reality. In any challenge, I strive to find the process between inspiration and execution exciting, efficient, and thorough — a mindset I value whether I’m scouting for talent, creating marketing campaigns for emerging artists or producing events. Currently I serve as the Director of Marketing for Sony Music Masterworks, executing integrated marketing campaigns for projects such as tick, tick… BOOM!, Euphoria, Yo-Yo Ma, John Williams, 2CELLOS, and The Piano Guys, .
Most recently, I was the Label Manager for Five Seven Music where I conceptualized and executed integrated campaigns for artists such as Debbie Harry, The HU, Just Loud, Bleeker, Nico Vega and more. Since 2009, I served as the co-founder and CEO for Underwater Peoples Records, an independent record label which launched the careers of Billboard-charting artists such as Real Estate, Sylvan Esso and Tennis. With Underwater Peoples’ ground-up operation, I’ve been responsible for a wide range of label duties, including A&R, marketing album campaigns, global distribution, event planning, booking live events, accounting, and providing creative counsel for our artists. Through our efforts, Underwater Peoples was recognized by Billboard Magazine as one of the Top 50 indie music labels in America. Previously, I was the Label Manager for Five Seven Music where I conceptualized and executed integrated campaigns for artists such as Debbie Harry, The HU, Just Loud, Bleeker, Nico Vega and more.

In addition to the label, I also write, perform, and produce my own music as Evan Ønly and Family Portrait. After negotiating a licensing deal with HBO for a Family Portrait song, I decided to start my own publishing company, Family Only Publishing. Today I have grown to license music to Lionsgate, The X Games, Ray-Ban, Maavven and more. Flavorwire recognized my work as an artist and music entrepreneur by placing me in their Top 40 Culture Makers to Watch list. Having worked as an artist, at a label, and as a manager I have unique insight into the development process for up and coming artists.
