Evan K started playing guitar at the age of 11, inspired by famous hard rock bands like Scorpions, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Whitesnake. Five years later he completed the E-Guitar & Jazz Harmony program of Berklee College of Music through authorized local conservatories in Athens. At the age of 19, he left his German literature studies in Athens in order to study E-Guitar and popular music at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg, University of Popular Music and Music Business in Mannheim, Germany. He was one out of the four guitarists chosen every year to study there. In 2015, Evan K joined the industrial/death metal band Cypecore. In January 2016, the band released its third studio album Identity, with Evan K in the line-up.

The album was released in Europe via FC Metal Recordings and in Japan via King Records. In 2017 Evan K recorded guitars and bass for the debut album Rhapsodies in Black by Exit Eden, a female symphonic metal band formed by Amanda Somerville, Clémentine Delauney, Marina La Torraca and Anna Brunner. The album features metal covers of some very popular hits such as Madonna's "Frozen", Adele's "Skyfall" and Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi". Simone Simons (Epica) appears as guest vocalist in the album. In August 2017 Evan K was announced as the new lead guitarist of the German power metal band Mystic Prophecy.
