We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Noah Moses. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Noah below.

Noah, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.

To be honest, I’m in the middle of taking a risk. One that I’ve been struggling with for a few years now: releasing my own music. I feel like it’s a big risk, putting this very personal piece of art you’ve made out there hoping someone will like it, and coming to terms with the fact that potentially no one will. Regardless of that though, I feel that we all should have to be true to ourselves and our convictions, to release the song, to open the business, to write the book, and not let fear dictate our decisions. a motto I try to live by is, “A life lived in fear is a life half live”.
With that all being said, I’m excited to say I’m working on releasing my first single on all streaming services in the next month or so!

Noah, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I was a troubled teen, who felt he didn’t really have a voice. I took solace in learning guitar, and going out into my backyard, playing, and singing my heart out till my hands went numb, and my voice was horse. I’m an indie musician. I try to let the human condition shine through in all my songs, so I like to keep them as raw as possible. As far as genre, it’s a blend of some “swampy” blues and classic ’60s rock-Americana.

I also really like playing harmonica in my tunes, but not like your grandpa… I think that’s a big misconception. The subject matter of the songs, I would call, “spiritual fringe music” for people who are done with church but still are looking for a spiritual connection with their Maker, and each other.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

I think that music helps us to express things we find hard to articulate, and that the goal of art, is being able to express those deeps things via a vessel such as music, food, paint, or any medium your hand finds. It’s really amazing when you can tap into that, for even a single note, a single stroke of a paint brush, and really connect with another person you’ve never met giving a voice to that feeling they just can’t put into words.

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

I had this idea that everyone would like my music better if I put some grit in my voice by unnaturally straining it, instead of embracing how I sound naturally. Though I still occasionally use an affected gruffness, I think it’s important to be okay with who you are and embrace all that comes with that.
