Early life

Ohana was born in Oakland, California. Both of his parents were DJs exposing him to the underground rave scene and teaching him Ableton Live at an early age. [2] [3] Prior to his success touring full-time as a musician, Ohana broke into his local underground music scene around 2016, going to shows with a camera stolen from his Berkeley High School video class; documenting the events, editing recaps, & sending the footage to the performing artists. With the network he met, Ohana would get further into music & video production, as well as themself organizing a variety of underground shows and raves around the Bay Area. In 2018, Ohana would eventually break away from their strictly production for others oriented work and begin producing their first solo project, Evanora:Unlimited. They also worked as an apartment site manager between 2020 and 2022 where much of his early music videos can be seen taking place [4]

Career

Ohana's first full-length project as Evanora Unlimited, Lustful Expanse was released in 2020. This release was followed by singles "Limestone" featuring She Diamond, "Age of Information" featuring Taraneh and Ivy Knight, and "Sequoia Tide" featuring She Diamond and produced by Yves Tumor; Evanora Unlimited also supported dates with Yves Tumor on their 2022 tour with Ecco2k & 2023 tour with Pretty SIck. [5] [6] Perfect Answer, the second full-length Evanora Unlimited project, was released in February 2024. [7]

Ohana was also briefly affiliated with the Reptilian Club Boyz hip-hop collective under his Marjorie W.C. Sinclair side project and producer alias Housepett until the collective's disbandment in 2021. [8]

Artistry

Ohana describes Evanora:Unlimited as a "based on true events erotic science fiction religious horror epic" encompassing music, film, fashion, and performance art. [9] While the Evanora Unlimited project draws most heavily from noise music, Ohana also releases more Bay Area-Rap oriented records under his Marjorie W.C. Sinclair alias . [10]
