Hailing from Philadelphia and currently found going door-to-door in Germantown promoting their latest cd, Change the World Vol. II, NoelZ and G-E-N are artists surely devoted to their craft.
First cd Change the World Vol. I was released last year. NoelZ & G-E-N met through a mutual friend in the summer of 2007. At the time, Gen was learning the ropes of both engineering and producing, while NoelZ was in search of a studio space where she could work on her first project. The duo, both Philadelphia natives, clicked instantly and tinkered out their first single, a song titled "It's NoelZ".
We met the duo when they wandered up to us to sell their cd and try and get some exposure-the video cameras we were carrying created quite an impression on the rappers who are dying for more exposure. They explained to us in detail about their adoration for each other, and working to change the world. NoelZ explained that one of her greatest influences is famous rapper Jay-Z, who would do anything and everything possible for exposure. They both admire that he would sell cds out of the trunk of his car, just to get people to listen.
NoelZ and G-E-N take a more straightforward approach-they go door-to-door to try and sell their music, as well as promote Myspace and YouTube videos. The theme of their music is about changing the world through self-expression, hence the “Change the World” titles on the albums.
Songs can be previewed at www.myspace.com/themightyonez, or at www.youtube.com/itsnoelz. Cds are generally sold for $10, but a little conversation can get it bargained down to $5.
