By Summer Perez


Al Gomes has more than 30 years of experience within the music industry. He is founder and operator of an award-winning music company called Big Noise. Within his company, he helps clients with music career consultations, music production and promotion, artist development and film and television licensing.

Gomes completed his higher education at Rhode Island College, where he received a Bachelors of Arts degree in Communication. While in school he became involved in extracurricular activities. Gomes worked as a columnist and arts and entertainment editor at the college news publication, The Anchor. He worked as a DJ at the school radio station, WRIC, even producing a syndication show. He also produced a few original plays while attending college.

He established Big Noise in the 1990s. The company, an independent music firm, was developed for artists who had talent, but may have been overlooked by big-time music companies. He and A.Michelle have put years into the making of the company, which is today an award-winning music firm.

In its 20 years, Big Noise has collected approximately 10 esteemed awards. The firm has also released more than 300 recordings from artists who come from a number of genres. Big Noise prides itself on managing projects from beginning to end. The firm helps artists budget, receive studio time and make important decisions in regards to branding and public image. For independent artists who may have a hard time putting their music together, Big Noise helps with art direction for record packaging and manufacturing and distributing the finished product.

Though Big Noise is dedicated to helping independent and unknown artists, Gomes has done notable work within the mainstream music industry. He has worked with big names in the American music business. His resume includes a long list of popular productions.

Gomes was part of the group that launched the career of Christina Aguilera. He was the Director of Online Entertainment and Marketing for Three Wishes Productions. He worked as publicist, web master, biographer, archivist, promoter and marketer for Aguilera and her company. Furthermore, he produced two singles for the pop star: Holiday with Christina and What A Valentine Wants.

In addition to aiding Aguilera, Gomes has worked with Katharine McPhee from American Idol, Paul Doucette of Matchbox 20 and producer Shelly Yakus. He has partnered with bands Little Anthony and the Imperials and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He has composed music with songwriters such as Mike Viola, Jimmy Crane, Sean Callery and several others.

Gomes started the Band Wagon Project to increase awareness about the hungry and homeless in America. The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Foundation gave The Jefferson Award to the project, which has raised thousands of dollars to go towards providing food and shelter for the bar, for outstanding public service. The project involved several public figures that teamed up to record Three Sides of Hunger song and perform two televised concerts.
