The Start Of His Musical Journey
Micöl grew up in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. He performed a lot of gigs there. Gradually, he moved on to bigger things like opening for Wiz Khalifa. Eventually, he made a shift to Atlanta, where he would rub shoulders with the likes of Nelly, Pitbull, Snoop Dogg, J. Cole, Big Sean, Jermaine Dupri and more. He is also a well-known personality in the marketing world. He even has his show called “You Are Dope” on LinkedIn which features guests like We Are Rosie’s Stefani Nadi Olson, Publicis CEO Arthur Sadoun, former Lyft VP-Brand Jabari Hearn, and many more.
Missy Elliott found NOVI NOV after hearing his BIg Sean elevator rap and now she follows him on Twitter as well. When the pandemic hit, he started to focus and nurture his creativity and hone his musical skills. For Micöll, the pandemic was like a period where he could stay at his creative peak all day without any interruptions.
In 2019 he was struck with a tragedy when his daughter Zinnia passed away due to health problems. Since that day he has vowed to help as many people as he can, and make the most of his life. He wants to continue to grow as a leader in advertising and marketing with his partners. He intends to expand his company, “ Rankinworks” through his music promotion with NOVI NOV. And he will also continue to help families and cultures that struggle through loss to thrive and strive through his and his wife’s own “For The Love of Zinni” brand and whatever charities he can partner with. Micol is genuinely a lively soul who is dedicated to working hard and doing his best to entertain people with his music and his work.
