Opening the door for Staten Island hip-hop, Carlos Evans started his music career as Haas G as part of the hip-hop duo UMC’s.  In the early 90’s UMC’s won acclaim for their first single “Blue Cheese.”   Soon after, the second single, “One to Grow on” became Billboard’s #1 rap single.  Fantom produced songs on both UMC’s albums “Fruits of Nature” and “Unleashed.”  

After the rap duo broke up, Fantom took some time for family prior to reinventing his career as a full-time producer in the late 90’s. 

His production credits, through Fantom of the Beat,  span many artists in the hip-hop world and include Ghostface Killah’s “Apollo Kids” track from the “Supreme Clientele” album.  This song helped turn Ghostface’s solo career around, with critics calling it his “street credible resurrection song.”  

Music, according to Fantom is the universal language.  He credits his exposure throughout his life to a variety of genres in his success as a producer.  

Fantom’s credentials also include “Magic Stick” which he produced for 50 Cent and L’il Kim.  Upon its release, this track was one of the most played songs in crossover urban markets and reached the #2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

In addition, he produced “Take it Off” for Busta Rhymes on the “E.L.E” album which is widely considered Busta’s best effort for its sequencing and quality material.  

Fantom continues to stretch his production talents –to include his trademark style combining elements of the late ‘60’s and ‘70’s creating the sounds which represent the struggle and the voice of the inner city.  He takes his life experiences and applies them to music – creating sounds that, in essence, are capable of moving people to take action.  


“Music is a substantial part of my life; it’s how I express my fears, my sadness and happiness, my everything.  My music is raw emotion,” Fantom says.  “The passion I feel for music shows through in everything I create,” he adds.

In the music industry, everyone has a role model and Fantom is no exception.  “Strong role models in the industry, for me, include Quincy Jones, Paul Mauriat and Willie Mitchell.”

Fantom has also worked with artists such as Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, and Miss Toi.  In addition, he’s worked with some of the most well-known labels such as Def Jam Records, Aftermath Records, Koch Entertainment, Epic Records, and Universal Records, to name a few.
