NOA LAURYN

Noa Lauryn is the philosopher soul-singer that will make you melt and think at the same time. With her buttery smooth voice and thoughtful lyrics, she mixes soul, R&B and jazz into a neo soul for the 2020s, inspired by artists like D’Angelo, Cleo Sol and Anderson Paak. She and her Hiphop and Jazz rooted band, The Incredibles, create an energetic live show that is a whole separate experience from the records.

At the moment, Noa is embarking on an exciting new chapter on the international scene. She has been to London twice this year for sessions and shows (including a sold out headline show) and another planned in Hootananny next January. She is working on new music with producers and co-artists in Berlin, London and Amsterdam, with new singles scheduled this winter, working towards a second album.

Her latest EP Always On Time has been making noise. This project about the pace of modern-day society was featured on i.e. COLORS, DMY and Fizzy Mag. Noa was interviewed by Angelique Houtveen at the Vokall Records EP launch, invited to Shay Kreuger’s show on NPO BLEND, on the Get In! podcast with Benjamin Herman, the London Headliner podcast and more. The EP has also been on rotation on NPO Soul & Jazz and Sublime FM, as well as on Belgian and UK radio and has reached over 5M streams. She was featured on the cover of Spotify’s Next Wave Soul playlist and has played some notable stages this year, i.e. De Melkweg, Into The Great Wide Open, Lago Lago, Wicked Jazz Fest, Paardcafé, De Vorstin and this October LantarenVenster, opening for Bilal.

Background

Born and raised in Amsterdam, Noa grew up a musicians’ daughter, listening to the greats of Soul and Hiphop and hanging out at her dad’s gigs from a young age (Manuel Hugas, i.e. Liquid Spirits). Going through life always wondering “why”, she majored in Philosophy, but chose the musician’s path right after graduating. Her curiosity and longing to understand the world we live in still echo through in her lyrics.

Her debut album “coin collection” (2023) featured the likes of Candy Dulfer and Kay Slice and has reached over 9M streams on Spotify. That year, she was nominated “Best Talent” in the Sublime FM Awards and played at Paradiso and Luxor Live. The album has now reached over 9 million streams.
