Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Noir. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Noir, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Has your work ever been misunderstood or mischaracterized?

Sometimes I feel like my music gets misunderstood. Like, people might think a song like “Broken Home” is just about heartbreak, but it’s really about deeper stuff, like finding yourself or dealing with family struggles. But honestly, I’ve learned that once I release a song, it’s not just mine anymore it’s for everyone to take however they want. My music is meant to connect with people in their own way. Even if someone interprets it differently than I intended, that’s cool because it still means something to them. That’s the beauty of music it’s personal for everyone. So now, I just try to focus on telling my story and letting people make it their own.

Noir, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I started working in a studio when I was 14 after finding a youth program that helped me explore my passion for music. That’s where I learned how to write, record, and truly express myself through my songs. What sets me apart is my vulnerability I want people to connect with my music and find their own stories in it. My biggest goal is for listeners to feel something, whether it’s comfort, reflection, or inspiration. Music isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am, and I hope it leaves an impact on everyone who listens.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

A lesson I had to unlearn was the idea that success comes quickly and easily. When I first started out, I was really eager and thought that if I just worked hard enough, everything would fall into place fast. But over time, I learned that the journey in music isn’t always linear it’s full of ups and downs, and success takes time, patience, and consistency. The backstory is that when I was younger, I’d see artists who seemed to blow up overnight, and I thought that was the standard. I pushed myself really hard and was frustrated when things didn’t happen as quickly as I imagined. Eventually, I realized that each artist’s path is different and that building something meaningful takes time. It taught me to enjoy the process, stay focused on growing as an artist, and trust that everything would come when it’s supposed to.

Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

One resource I really wish I knew about earlier in my creative journey is the importance of networking and connecting with other creatives. When I first started out, I was really focused on just improving my craft, thinking that talent alone would get me where I wanted to go. But I later realized that building relationships with other artists, producers, and people in the industry is just as important. Collaborations, advice, and just being around others who understand the journey can open up so many doors. If I had learned how valuable those connections were from the beginning, I think I would’ve moved forward even faster and found more opportunities earlier on.
