This article is about the dance music act. For the company in the Philippines, see [GCash](/source/GCash).

**Mynt** is a [dance music](/source/Dance_music) act from [New York City](/source/New_York_City). The co-ed quintet is made up of DJ/producer/remixers Albert Castillo and [Rich "DJ Riddler" Pangilinan](/source/DJ_Riddler), male vocalist Joseph Murena, and female vocalists Marisol Angelique-Solorzano and [Kim Sozzi](/source/Kim_Sozzi).

## Career

### Beginnings

Prior to forming the act, Castillo had done club mixes and productions, Rich Pangilinan was also a remixer and DJ for radio station, [WKTU](/source/WKTU), Sozzi had two hits on the [Hot Dance Music/Club Play](/source/Hot_Dance_Music/Club_Play) chart, "Feelin' Me"(#4/2001) and "We Get Together"(Credited as **HQ2/Hex Hextor Presents Kim Sozzi**, #18/2002), Angelique-Solorzano did background vocal work and Murena was a semi-finalist on [American Idol](/source/American_Idol).

### Not another "Faceless/Production" act

While some dance pundits[who?] think that this might be just another "faceless DJ/production" act, the members dispel that theory, saying that they were inspired by early 1990s acts such as [Deee-lite](/source/Deee-lite) and [C&C Music Factory](/source/C%26C_Music_Factory) and they want to share, in their own words, "unique blend of the American Club culture with an alternative rock twist".[citation needed] All the members of the band (before [Kim Sozzi](/source/Kim_Sozzi)'s departure) are prominently featured on the album's sleeve.m
