Evette's artistic odyssey commenced in her childhood, under the guidance of her parents, Barbara and Darrell Fergerson, and her grandfather, Cecil Fergerson, a former curator at the Los Angeles County Museum. At the tender age of 10, she embarked on a transformative journey through dance classes at the Lula Washington Dance Theatre in Los Angeles. These formative years witnessed her mastery of diverse dance styles, from the elegance of ballet to the rhythm of tap, the grace of jazz, and the innovation of modern dance. Her passion eventually led her to open her own dance studio, marking the start of her artistic legacy.
 

Her college years at Grambling State University unfolded as a captivating chapter in her life. Evette dove headfirst into the world of theatre, immersing herself in iconic productions such as Lorraine Hansberry's "To Be Young, Gifted and Black," Madge Miller's "The Land of The Dragon," and the timeless Greek mythology tale, "Medea." It was during her freshman year that she took her first step into the realm of broadcasting, becoming a DJ at KGRM 91.5 FM and setting the stage for her burgeoning radio career. Junior year saw her securing her first professional DJ role at KRVV Hot 100 Radio (Monroe, LA), followed by a prestigious position at KYEA K98 FM Radio during her senior year.
 

After graduating, Evette embarked on a remarkable journey through the airwaves, starting with an internship at Stevie Wonder's KJLH 102.3 FM (Inglewood, CA). She soon became a recognizable voice as an announcer for Personal Achievement Radio in Los Angeles and later as the Station Relations Rep for Lee Bailey's nationally syndicated program, RadioScope.

Her contributions to promotions and media relations brought her into contact with illustrious artists such as Tevin Campbell, Tamia, Patti Austin, Tata Vega, Tech N9ne, Saafir, and even Quincy Jones himself. Her career trajectory then led her to Elektra Entertainment's publicity department, where she collaborated with a galaxy of stars, including Missy Elliott, Bjork, Yolanda Adams, Fabolous, Keith Sweat, Jason Mraz, Lil Mo, and Tweet, among others.
