He may live in America but he dreams of Guyana. Road March contestant, Courtney Noel says he writes while on the night shift at his job in New York.

And this year, the creator of last year's very catchy "Arrowhead", will belt out his latest creation, "Guyana Sons and Daughters".

Noel launched his album last Friday night at the Sidewalk Café and Jazz Club. He added that he launched his song "Arrowhead" too early last year and that this year he is hoping to make headway with his new song. The artist who now lives in America, said "Guyana Sons and Daughters" is about the many Guyanese people who have contributed to the country and speaks about many historical sites such as St George's Cathedral, Mount Pakaraima as well as areas such as the Corentyne and the Rupununi. "Whatever comes to my mind I would put it on paper and make a song."

Noel has been performing for over ten years, inspired by the O'Jays, and 'The Love Train'. Noel also creates Soca jingles for many companies including Western Union, Banks DIH, John Fernandes and UNICEF. He reckoned that the entertainers in Guyana must try and support each other.

He revealed that his next tune would be one called "Cry" where local artistes will all contribute to a version of the tune "We Are the World". Most of Noel's tunes were recorded at the Vision Studio in Brooklyn New York.

Among the songs on his CD are "El Dorado", "I Love the Way you Smell" and "One People, One Nation, One Destiny". Noel is also hoping to make a pop and soul album.
