Evan shares his bumpy early academic career bouncing between junior colleges and SDSU \/ Northridge Universities. Ultimately, Evan drops out, as he puts it, "the pursuit of a career got in the way of my pursuit of a degree."\u2028 Consumed by his passion for music and the music industry, Evan got his lucky break starting out as an intern at IRS Records. Then he moved into the marketing division of Capitol Records where he was offered a paid position. "I loved it! I didn't care what time I had to get up or how late I had to work. I was having a great time!"\u2028\u2028 Years later, a bit disillusioned by what he saw in multiple executive meetings \u2014 fighting the status quo \u201closing control vs. taking control\u201d as Evan puts it, he realized it was time to move on. One night at a Aerosmith  \/ Skid Row concert a wild idea occurred to him. A totally innovative concept (at the time) that proved to be ground-breaking. He realized that he could promote new bands and music in between the opening bands and the headliners. Evan then negotiated deals with music retailers for shelf space, \u201cRight Between the Acts\u201d was born. Continuing to adapt to the ever-changing music and technology environments, Evan\u2019s company today, Evan Saxon Productions (ESP), helps to promote and distribute content via a worldwide network of theaters.
