Eric Garcia (born January 3, 1964), professionally known by his stage name Evil E, is an American disc jockey.

Career[]

Eric Garcia was born January 3, 1964 to Honduran parents and grew up in Brooklyn, New York with his brother Henry. They removed to the West Coast and joined Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate, wherein Eric provided scratches serving as a deejay.[citation needed]

He appeared on the spoken word track "Evil E-What About Sex?" on the Ice-T's O.G. Original Gangster album, and raps on Ice-T's track "Pimp Behind the Wheels" on the Home Invasion album.[2] Later on, in 1991, he released a full-length album with Hen-Gee, titled Brothers (Pendulum/Elektra),[3][4] which spawned singles: "Lil Trig" (peaked at #15 on the Hot Rap Songs)[5] and "If U Were Mine" (peaked at #85 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs).[6]

Evil E and Hen-Gee were managed by Guy Oseary, an independent Artists and Repertoire (A&R) representative in 1989.[7]
