Antwon Vincent, professionally known as Noochie, is a rapper from Washington, D.C., United States. He is the director and executive producer of Live on the Front Porch, a YouTube series that features live musical performances.[1]
Early life
[edit]Noochie was born in Northern Virginia but grew up between Southeast DC and other parts of the DC area. He is the oldest of five siblings.[2] His father is rapper Roger "Oneway Boobe" Vincent Jr., founder of OneWay Records.[2]
Career
[edit]Noochi worked at his father's music studio as a teenager and took audio mixing courses while recording his own tracks.[3] He moved to Atlanta in 2016 after signing a production deal with Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs and returned to Washington less than a year later. He signed with Atlantic Records in 2017 but ended the relationship with the label in 2019.[3][1]
Noochie released music independently and promoted it by sharing a video of himself performing on his front porch. The videos were received positively, leading him to launch the performance series, Live on the Front Porch.[1] Guests on the show have included Robin Thicke, Cordae, Anderson .Paak, and Chance the Rapper.[1] Noochie credits live music shows like The Arsenio Hall Show, Soul Train, Rap City, MTV Unplugged, and Live from Daryl's House as inspiring the online show.[3]
In 2024, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced it would host Noochie for a live Live from the Front Porch performance in the spring of 2025.[4]
