Biography

Newcomer Noel Gourdin (Gor-Deen) is prepped to make a major impact on the music world with his powerful debut disc After My Time via Epic Records. Influenced by classic soul as well as the contemporary sounds of R&B and hip-hop, Noel’s music is a seamless blend of each genre. “Listening to so much music from so many different eras really helped me put my style together,” explains the gifted singer-songwriter. His debut offering is a refreshing mix of timeless R&B with a modern, youthful feel. Armed with commanding, rich vocals and a solid collection of intimate, soulful songs, this budding new talent is positioned to make an indelible mark on music’s landscape by bringing together listeners across all generations and genres.

Many artists have been declared “before their time” however with the album title After My Time, Noel pays homage to the soul stars of generations past that have paved the way for him to express himself through the “most relevant music” in his life. While he’d fit perfectly in the old-school soul genre, he has crafted an album that also proves him to be a unique new-generation artist with undeniable staying power.

As a kid growing up just outside of Boston in Brockton, Massachusetts, the 26-year-old musician soaked up the sounds of his father’s music collection, which consisted of plenty of old soul favorites like Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Tyrone Davis and Teddy Pendergrass. Noel realized his true passion for making music in high school and set out on the beaten path to a professional career by writing and producing songs and performing at clubs and showcases in and around the Boston area.

    New album is cool, not better than his debut. Regardless, Noel shines above the rest. Outstanding voice & beautiful quality music. A rarity today. Wishing him much success!

    ok i prob reached the limit on the shoutbox. But I just wanted to say, I discovered NOEL from the "the river" -some1 left a shout saying they got tired it go too much radio play -but anything that ties us to our heritage and is refreshing `thats a good thing. We lack culture and appreciation as and of the black community.

    One love- captures that moment of realizing your in love, Noel sings: “…this here, aint enough.” He throws in “indignant” after having held his tongue! The music dances to his beautiful lyrics –GREAT engagement party song.

    Summertime…W*H*A*T!!! love’n this one! He turns the elements of winter and brings fire hot heat in loving. Noel sings: “…we change the weather !!! til im out of breath …just cause its cold outside and the sun aint shining … make summer where ever we go ….” -And the beat is slow and manish!! Im loving the slow seductive tongue twist of lyrics.

    ok so seems like musical seeds have been planted (even though I just discovered him on lastfm) Noel's needs to be watered throught the industry cause his music needs to go full bloom! Its spring ...and his flow is rich like marvin gaye (I think, need to be more in tune but that is the first thing that comes to mind) YET light ...perfect for spring/summer 2010.

    Agreed. Whoever is in charge of his exposure is highly incompetent it seems. Glad I found his music through this website. Dude is Fire. Underrated Indeed.
