He resides and orchestrates his form of a music renaissance in Philadelphia PA. His music demands attention to everyone in the vicinity of the sounds waves emitted from the horns and lows of speakers across the nation. He began his musical career in his father’s (Noisette Sr) Church. He was the drummer then the pianist (after music school) of the congregation at a young age of 7. It wasn’t till he was in middle school he would have his first studio experience. He was only 12 years old when his uncle brought him to the studio for the first time. His task was to play piano on his aunt’s (Guerline Daguizan) cd. The experience was both traumatic and fun for Saint Man. Nevertheless, it left a drive and thirst in him that till this day keeps him going. He knew this is what he has been created for. He was/is created for the studio life.
He would then, during middle school, start writing music on his uncle’s workstation (roland xp80). With much pride of the tracks/beats he put together, he would submit them to local artists from his class that was notorious for rapping in school. The rappers mocked him and said that his beats were way below average. With irrevocable determination and with much zeal, Saint man would continue to press on to being one of the best (if not “the†best) producer(s)/writer(s) in the game. He disconnected himself from his peers during grading school to focus on his craft. Music is all he wanted and needed at the time.
He got his first break when he graduated out of high school. During his 1st year of college (Age 18) he got invited down to farnlow studios in south Philly to play some tracks for a couple artists/managers to hear. He played the tracks and Rocafella records own Peedi Peedi grabbed tracks from him. Not only him but a slew of the state property squad requested material which was being solicited thru Peedi’s manager (Anthony farlow) who was acting manager to Saint Man at the time. Everything looked like it was going to take off but it didn’t. Saint was so devastated about all the drama and stress that goes on with the music biz (Lies, thievery, strive, etc.) that he actually put down doing tracks for rappers. He turned a new leaf; he went all gospel.
During his excile from hiphop music, he meant a couple brothers/sisters (Jenae Paden, Infinity, Japhia Life, Rob Hodge, Etc.) that rapped and sing street and mainstream but for God. It was the most amazing thing for him to see. He quickly began started working with them. The material was so incredible that it quickly grabbed the attention of many record labels across the nation. One of those labels was EMI gospel. Saint man and Infinity recorded the lead single for EMI’s compilation cd. The song was titled “Holy Ghost Party†(A track that he was initially going to delete, but Jenae Paden stopped him). The song did astronomically in Christian and urban radio. The group taped numerous video programs and radio shows. They even landed a slot performing at TD Jake’s Megafest in Atlanta Georgia sharing the stage with the likes of Kirk Franklin, Kiki Sheard, canton jones, mr. del (formely of the group three 6 mafia). Off the momentum of all the exposure from the smash record, the EMI compilation album (holyhiphop taking the gospel to the streets Vol 1) received a Grammy nomination for best gospel rock album of the year in the 2005 grammy awards.
Since the Grammy Nomination a now matured and seasoned Saint Man has gone on to produce/engineer/mix/write/A&R/ and even Executive produce for various artists across the world thru every major label (Sony, Bmg, Provident, Defjam, Universal, etc). With his mind matured and receptive of EVERY genre in the book, stellar awards nominations, Grammy nominations, Saint man is ready to tackle his future dead on. The hottest writers and executives in the game are seeking his tracks to publish to the public. However, it doesn’t stop there; his heart is to give back as much as he can. His facility houses some of Philly’s hottest up and coming writer/producers (lyrics and music). If you ever breeze past Philly ask anyone “where Saint man be at?†Almost everyone will reply, “on top of the church!â€
