Yessian Music has brought on board Evelyn Brown and Katie Overcash as sr. producers in its New York and L.A. offices, respectively. Brown was most recently at Human while Overcash comes over from Elias. Additionally, Yessian promoted Emily Smith from producer to sr. producer in NY earlier this year.
Brown is a native of Austin, a music Mecca that’s shaped her career path. The daughter of a music producer/engineer and a graduate of Berklee College of Music as a songwriting major, she got her introduction to the industry working as a freelance production coordinator at MRM/McCann and music supervisor for Groove Guild. Prior to her stint at Human she was producing for Bang Music + Sound.
Smith joined Yessian as a producer in 2014. She’s a magna cum laude graduate of Ohio State University, where she studied biochemistry in addition to music performance. Deciding against medical school, she packed up and moved to New York after college and landed at Storefront Music as a producer before eventually moving over to Yessian. During her time there she’s also taken on the audio postproduction role in addition to her work as a senior music producer.
Overcash hails from San Diego, where she attended San Diego State University. Initially working in the finance industry, she migrated north to L.A. and landed at Deutsch, where she worked on the PlayStation account. When an opportunity arose to transition over to the Production Department for the agency’s in-house post facility she grabbed it, eventually leading the studio’s build-out and developing a roster of editors and effects artists to support its work. Since leaving the agency for Elias Arts she’s produced for such brands as Nike, Target, Taco Bell, Toyota, Starbucks and Google.
