It’s really hard to write a biography of someone who is still in his teens.

 

Seriously.

 

What could be significant enough to warrant a full-fledged life story?

 

Well, we’ve thrown together a few things about Noah —consider this the prequel…

​

It’d be really cool to say Noah picked up a saxophone at age three, and the rest is history… but it didn’t exactly happen that way. He did get his first musical instrument, a guitar, while still in grade school. But when band became an option in fifth grade, he selected a saxophone, and has never looked back.

​

While he’s added a few other instrument notches to his belt (electric and acoustic guitar, keyboards, ukulele, bells, and drums), tenor sax remains his main squeeze.

 

He “took to the streets” at age fifteen, busking at farmers’ markets and on street corners. He caught the eye, and ears, of music lovers who then hired him to play at restaurants and special events.

 

Noah has studied with the local greats—Ron Bridgewater, Robert Lewis, Nathanial Banks, Jonny Beckett, Kevin Hart, DeVon Carlo. And he has been inspired by the industry greats—John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Stanley Turrentine, King Curtis, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Miles Davis, Kanye West, Eminem, Logic. 

 

Mostly, he has earned the respect of area musicians, and music lovers, for his dedication and courage to make the commitment and the sacrifices necessary to advance his music education and skills.

​

While his life story is still in the making, we encourage you to keep an eye on this young musician with an old jazz soul.
