“Opening Doors” in life is all about seizing opportunities and stepping into the unknown, much like a melody that builds toward an unexpected crescendo. Artistic partnerships are like meditations where two or more are gathered, and distinct voices find a shared idea, a tune, intertwining melodies, blending their strengths to unlock something neither could achieve alone. The desire to create music both harmonious and bold has been at the center of what has made the collaborative of David Eugene Ivey and Eric Evans Project (DEEEP) such a joy over the years! Every great musical venture thrives on trust, a bit of risk, and the magic of seeing where the other’s imagination leads—think of painters swapping brushes or songwriters trading phrases, building a bridge between their unique worlds. Think of it as turning a key in a lock—whether it’s a new chapter for an idea, or a shared song, what lies beyond is shaped by curiosity and the willingness to explore. “Opening Doors” is the predicate, the first song where Eric and Dave realized the inspiration, they could walk into by joining on so much music! Let “Opening Doors” turn a lock to open for you and be a catalyst to your spirit to seek to open doors for your own flourishing and creative flare!

“I See You” It’s a song from David's upcoming “Driving” album, and it reflects one of the stories of his life. Originally written in 2002.

David shares, "I was going through a trial of understanding with what my family, my grandparents, and my ancestors, as a larger sense and sensibility were asking of me. I’m the child in this song. Here at your table… Looking out the windows. And I was asking a lot of them. I still am."

We hope you’ll check it out and download it to your family and traveling playlist.

You’ll love his lustrous-jazzy touch on this eternally adored classic, “Ode to Joy”! This refreshed arrangement was given new inspiration with insights from Gary Santo-Pietro, (an integral part of Evans’ live shows and played Acoustic Guitar on the Track). David Eugene Ivey and Eric collaborated for the final arrangement, mix, and vibe with the addition of modern and classic orchestration, keys, and smooth synths! Bassist Ian Martin (Barry Manilow, Brian Simpson) lays down the essential bedrock on acoustic bass, Dan Needham on drums  (Michael McDonald, Jonathan Butler) And, to add next level zest, Billboard Chart topping Adam Hawley appears with keyboards and acoustic guitar! Adam Hawley Productions brings it all together! 

Dedicated to Rick Carter, Bassist, Guitar, Worship Team Performer. His wife gave the lyrics to Eric, and Eric and David went to work crafting the song.

With the help of Producer/Engineer, Phil Johnson and the additional vocal presence of Danielle Evans, (Opera, Jazz Vocalist) the tune has blossomed into a truly life enhancing, worshipful, uplifting piece that speaks to the thriving present relationship to the Holy One and the hope and joy of future glory!
