MySpace a place for friends

It all started with a simple music player that was placed next to her incubator in the hospital when Genesis was born to stop her from crying. Not knowing that it would be the start of her love for music. At a very young age, this native from the Bronx possessed the charisma and motivation that you knew would lead her to do big things. At only 19 years of age, Genesis excludes the confidence and ambition that is truly star quality. “I remember waking up Sunday mornings with loud music blasting from the stereo in the living room. I didn’t get up because I smelled breakfast, but because the sounds my ears were picking up were worth waking up for.” Because of her Dominican roots, music is very important in her family. Genesis recalls her dad talking to her about music history and what she calls “taking her around the world musically without moving from the room” At the age of 10, Genesis began studying music literature and style, music theory, took part in vocal lessons and was part of the choir in an after school music academy- High Bridge Voices. Throughout the 8 years of participation and studies, she was given multiple solos and became an Altos section leader .She performed in many events such as the Today Show, Macy’s thanksgiving parade and participated in the Walt Disney’s children in Harmony choral festival- just to name a few. In 2005, Genesis won Miss Jr. Teen Dominican Republic of NYC and was also honorable mention in Seventeen magazines’ All- Star Contest- in which honored young women who were leaders in their community. She was featured in the February 2005 issue. In 2006, Genesis was a state finalist in the Miss NY Jr. Teen pageant. During High School, she participated in musicals such as “ Little Shop of Horrors” and got the female lead role in “Footloose” Genesis graduated St. Pius V High School with honors, as school president and received a scholarship to Mount Saint Mary College, where she is a Pre- medicine psychology and Public Relations major. Genesis wants to take chances to change the world musically and physically. She is an advocate for HIV/AIDS and Higher learning. In February 2009, Genesis went up to Albany to lobby against Financial Aid cuts. Her leadership and friendly qualities attract attention in which she is great at attaining. Prior to the summer of 2009, she linked up with Kyle Chong, her producer, who were friends for awhile but was unaware of the fact that they both shared a passion for music. The moment the two got into the studio together, they shared an immediate connection and have been looked upon as the new dynamic duo of the music game. “I couldn’t ask for a better partner,” states Chong, “I only wish we would’ve linked up sooner!” “My love for music and performing has taken a huge part of my life. This has taught me that people are always watching and because of that it is important to be a positive and motivated person. People live their entire lives in search for the push or determination that will one day take them to the place they want to be in life. Singing for those who feel as if they are un heard is what has pushed me forward in life. It is my duty to speak to people through music, because music is the universal language. Music gave color to my black and white life.”
