Jared Evan (born September 21, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer and rapper. He was born in Great Neck, New York. He was signed to Zone 4 under Interscope Records.

In 2013 his album Boom Bap & Blues with Statik Selektah peaked at No. 8 on the iTunes Soul charts independently.

Jared Evan Siegel grew up in Great Neck, New York. He started out by playing the drums, hoping for the chance to one day become the next Keith Moon. Initially wanting to be a professional drummer, Jared eventually began taking on several other instruments. His early years were filled with a lot of problems in school and music provided a therapeutic outlet for him. He later became heavily influenced by older seminal hip hop artists such as the Wu-Tang Clan, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, and A Tribe Called Quest. He studied early hip hop while also taking musical cues from his alternative, classic rock and r&b/soul influences such as Thom Yorke, Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, James Brown and others.
