Picture this synopsis for next summer’s biggest romantic flick: two people in love find each other against all odds not only to make memories to share, but also to craft music to spread to those with a passion for art. To Perry senior Noelle Soucek and junior Jack Baker, this fantasy is all too real. With a mix of Baker’s rhythmic beats and Soucek’s smooth and capturing voice, Arizona’s new acoustic sensation “The Moiety Blend” has been created.

Elaborating on how the band was formed, Soucek stated, “I’ve always enjoyed music and this has been something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’ve finally found someone who I can share my music with, so this is really fun for the both of us.”

Having released two cover songs right out of the gate including Walk The Moon’s “Shut Up and Dance” and Maroon 5’s “Sunday Morning”, The Moiety Blend has already played an opening show at SoZo Coffeehouse and have received offers to play full shows at local events.

“Currently we’re working just on covers, but we’re actually aiming towards releasing our own music in the near future as well,” added Baker.  He continued, “people have definitely reached out to us in terms of being featured in our songs, so there’s a lot of possibilities and opportunities to cover every area of music.”

Local Perry junior Caleb Wilson commented that, “The Moiety Blend is what a band should be: two people having fun while also making art for others to enjoy. I’m really excited to see what they do next.”

The Moiety Blend is currently working on their new cover and music video of Colbie Caillat’s “Try”, which includes a special message to those who need or want to feel more confident, both physically and emotionally.

However, through all the attention Soucek and Baker have been receiving as a result of their new unique and catchy sound, they want to remind all of their viewers that, “The Moiety Blend isn’t about us, it’s about the music. We do it all for our fans.”
