BIO HIPOGRAPHY
THE BEGINNING
My name is Genesis Joseph Louis and I'm an aspiring hip-hop Artist; that's who I am. My mother gave me the biblical name and like my name I'm constantly evolving my music; based on my life experiences, I began writing lyrics when i was eight years old in Montreal. I can still recall writing lyrics in my bedroom and hearing neighborhood children play outside my window. I knew then at that young age that being a recording artist is what I wanted to be. And started performing in clubs and recording at the age of 16. I promissed my self to uphold that dream and be true to my music. I'm 27 years old now and the passion and dream still remain strong within me.
My musical influences reaches back to the origin of hip-hop artist like KRS ONE ,RUN DMC and Tupac helped forged that standard that made hip-hop what it is today. These artist set the plateau that I'm striving for.
In keeping with the philosophy of musical evolution through life experiences. I lived in other cities and the "society enviroments" allowed me to expend my thoughts and views. The growth is in my writing, learned more about playing, more about the music and most importantly story in my lyrics. I believe that music is a story and that everyone has a story we can all relate too. I can only hope that I can express my life hardship, love, tortured moments and share that with an audience. I am in constant evolution to better my music and myself.
I wish to always remain true to myself and not provide a false image of myself. I relish my identity enough not to form a myth and most importantly, not wanting to spend a lifetime living that myth. I' ve always tried to be honest about the bad and the good. Take me as I am because I can't be anyone else.
Musical Beginnings
I started out performing in sevral clubs in Montreal then moved to Vancouver. I dedicated myself to my music, honed my craft further and continued freestyle battle in clubs, earning respect and loyality from the audience.
In 2003, I teamed up with producer Scott Willad from Barill House sound studio and we produced my first intrumental. After spending a year working on "Genesis is hip-hop" with R&B singer Breanna aka HONEY DA DIVA, the duo came out with a five songs CD. Our humble marketing promotions consisted of handling out flyers and providing complimentary CD to local music stores.
Musical Achivements
In 2003, the Beat 94.5 in Vancouver was looking for new talent and I submitted the single "Look me in my eyes". After six months of promoting the song and people arround the world voting via internet; I came in second place. After strugling as an independent artist GENESIS & HONEY managed to earn enough money by performing live in clubs and street festivals and now we have our own recording studio & 4 underground albums with 12 mixtapes in the streets.
