BIOGRAPHY
After years of constant refinement in the art and science of music production, Notela is focused on making urban music from the Seattle area glimmer and shine. All the way to the mainstream.
Primed and focused, the 23 year-old Brooklyn, NY native is backing an rising armada of emerging independent artists from his backyard starting with Bay Area / NW-based rapper Basko Sauce'alini, along with Tacoma natives Fay Boy, and Keven Vury.
( ALL EMERGING NORTHWEST TALENT )
And it doesn't stop there. Notela will soon produce some of the most experimental artists and musicians the NORTHWEST has to offer. With flavors ranging from Spoken Word, Reggae, to NEW unheard and untapped music forms. ( more info about this coming soon )
They are just a handful of those who have witnessed Notela "show and prove" and not show and tell."
"The region's diverse lifestyle and culture is very vibrant, hip, and innovative. Diversity in my opinion, helps artists communicate their unique outlook on life through their medium of choice, whether that's through art or music."

[ CHECK BACK OFTEN TO STAY AHEAD OF THE BEND ]
"Being born in Brooklyn and raised in the Seattle area gave me a unique perspective on things. Anyone who has lived here for a while knows how many different people and experiences you come across on a daily basis. Seattle, WA in case you didn't know is located in the Northwest region of the United States. It's a strange but FUN culture. I can't really explain the lifestyle up here...you have to be in the middle of it ALL to fully understand me."
Notela's first interests in music can be traced back to his father working for Def Jam Records as a security guard between 1997 - 1999. With his dad working at Def Jam, it was a perfect opportunity for him to meet DMX, Foxxy Brown, Fredro Starr of the group Onyx, and tour Chung King Studios , an internationally recognized recording and production facility that gained it's reputation with the early success of artists such as LL Cool J, Run-D.M.C., and The Beastie Boys.
This early exposure to music industry was just the right amount enough inspiration he needed.
Notela was born on June 30, 1984 in the South Brooklyn section of Brooklyn, NY. He spent seven years of his childhood living in many culturally diverse neighborhoods throughout New York. Red Hook, Starrett City, West Hempstead, Flatbush, and Jamaica, Queens to be specific.
In December of 1991 his family decided to leave the Big Apple to head west to the city of Tacoma, a mid-sized city 30 miles south of Seattle in the state of Washington (NOT D.C.). The sudden change of scenery changed him forever.
