Giveon Dezmann Evans (/ˈɡɪviən/[4]), known mononymously as Giveon (stylized as GIVĒON), is an American R&B singer. He rose to prominence with his 2020 song "Chicago Freestyle" (with Drake), which peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, Giveon signed with Epic Records to release two extended plays: the Grammy Award-nominated Take Time and When It's All Said and Done; the former was preceded by the single "Heartbreak Anniversary", which peaked at number 16 on the chart and received quintuple platinum certification by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Evans guest performed alongside Daniel Caesar on Justin Bieber's 2021 single "Peaches", which debuted atop the Billboard Global 200, Billboard Hot 100, and Canadian Hot 100, and received four Grammy Award nominations. That same year, his two EPs were bundled into the compilation album When It's All Said and Done.... Take Time (2021), which peaked at number five on the Billboard 200. His debut studio album, Give or Take (2022), peaked at number 11 on the chart.
