TRAVIS BURTON aka NOON-THE ARTIST

BIO

 

Travis Burton, known professionally as NOON-The Artist, is an American Rapper and R&B singer, songwriter, and professional Athlete and Fitness Trainer. He was born in Miami, Florida, to a Miami native Father and a Jamaican born Mother. They moved to Sacramento, California when NOON was 4 years old. 

 

Music played a huge part of his life from the time he was young then he got involved in sports that led him to a College Football career in Oregon. 

 

Football took NOON so far in his life and he was always drawn back to his 'True Love', Music. It was about high NOON that he took back his title as THE ARTIST.

 

'When I finished (playing football), I told myself that I would get back to my first love. I was blessed to be able to travel and experience a lot with football and I'm bringing the same energy to the music scene.' - NOON the Artist

 

Hard work and consistency created The Artist we know today as NOON. His sound is a vibe connected by emotion, transpired by memories. Oh, the memories!

 

So get ready for this journey as you will see it all unfold right before your eyes. 

 

Growing up with music was known as the “good times“ in his life and this 'life' did not hand him an easy road. The Community was 'tough' and music was what helped him find inner peace. Grade school was a life changer. It was the 80's, a new decade was about to make way and The Jackson 5 were all over the airwaves bringing music and connectivity to Noon's ears and soul.  It was a 'culture shock' created by the industry that shook him.

 

My Buddy “Javon” played the bass and Jermaine Jackson was his favorite. He always said I was Mike. I really didn’t mind, but not knowing the caliber it took to get to where they were is crazy to think about now that I am in it myself.

 

Words carry energy which carry affirmation. NOON's lyrics do the same. His love for music, his drive and passion demonstrate that when you're at a certain level in the industry, your voice can impact many by the spread of positive messages; 'music is healing'. 

 

Artists like Musiq Soulchild all the way to T-Pain are influences in NOON The Artists' life and in his music. His family is not estranged to the music scene as his Great-uncle, Jamaican Reggae singer, songwriter and bass guitarist, Boris Gardiner (Elizabethan Reggae, I Wanna Wake Up with You, Real Rock) who has graced many stages over the course of his career, has impacted his writing styles. 

 

Life only goes forward and the roller coaster called 'Life' can only bring up festered emotions and breakthroughs no matter the situation. It's what you choose to do with those emotions that will create the vibe of your future. Noon the Artists' new album, set to release early this Fall, titled “GOOD, BAD AND UGLY” relates the Happiness that radiates through one's darkness.  

 

It is set to inspire and it is 100% of me! Let's vibe out together.
