Life & Work with Noah Fabray

Today we’d like to introduce you to Noah Fabray.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I grew up with a single parent (my mom) and have always had big aspirations. I started singing when I was really young, with my first vivid memories being me, my mom, and my sister all harmonizing with Nora Jones, Amy Winehouse, Jewel, and countless others in the car.

I started singing in my school and church choir when I reached elementary age, although I never felt 100% a part of either community/group. I was always very different, which resulted in some pretty bad bullying throughout my entire school experience. I am always rooting for the underdog because I think of myself that way.

Although small, my family is so full of love. My mom taught me the importance and strength of women from the time I could comprehend the idea, which made me the person I am today. My mom taught me everything I know and has always loved me unconditionally. When I turned 18, I booked a one-way ticket to Hollywood, California, and attended a music school for a short time. I didn’t like it because school has always been hard for me, not because I’m not smart, but more because I don’t like people telling me what to do.

I started recording my music in a friend’s “home studio” in LA, which was literally a closet. This was fitting because I didn’t come out until I left my old town so I always thought of the experience as some kind of weird metaphor. After a year or so of hustling, struggling, and missing my family, I moved to Scottsdale Arizona to be with them again and focus more on myself. Los Angeles, although very exciting and full of culture was a lot for me so I realized being somewhere less chaotic (and expensive) could be a good thing.

I started from scratch. Building a name for myself through Instagram and various music platforms. I had a few songs reach 100,000 streams and thought this was my big moment. My song House Bunni recently hit 1 million streams on Spotify so clearly the 100,000 wasn’t the end of the road.

I took some time away during the pandemic and came up with my master plan for this year and the next few, so a lot of surprises are coming. I just want the world to hear me, see me, and GET me. I’ve always been misunderstood and it sometimes feels lonely. I put all these feelings into my songs, even if they aren’t happy and positive, because doing this helps me get through my everyday life.

At the end of the day, I am just someone who wants love and happiness. I am grateful to my fans, friends, and family for all they do. I’m growing and learning each day and can’t wait to see what this year brings.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
If life had been nice to me, I wouldn’t be doing music. My struggles have always been my identity and sexuality. I always knew I was gay. From day one. My mom and I kept it a secret for years until I finally came out, and I’ll always love her for that.

Until recently, I went through a very rocky self-love and image journey, which had me at my lowest and highest points. I didn’t get why I loved feminine things and didn’t want to wear certain clothes and follow certain social norms.

I don’t identify as strictly male anymore. I never really did. I always loved pink and wearing girly clothes and even playing with dolls. I have always been like my mom’s second daughter lol. We live in a world where everything needs a name, but I don’t want to classify who I am in one singular pronoun. I am me. Whatever that is.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a musician. I write my own songs, make my own beats, and sing. I love the entire process. Layering my vocals and recording in my bedroom. I have this whole pink studio that I created during the pandemic and just love to be in there. I’m always writing, singing, and dreaming.

I’m proud of myself for paying for my career and never asking for help. I have always been a hard worker. My career is 100% mine which I love. As I said, nobody puts Baby in the corner. To date, I have amassed over 5 million streams on Spotify and Apple Music combined, which I have to remind myself of whenever I get annoyed with how this business works. It’s who you know, not what you are capable of.

My career is so vast though. I model, I do collabs on Instagram, I run my own promotions. I’ve worked with Sephora, Ralph Lauren, Mugler, and countless (literally) others. All thanks to me. Hard work, although daunting, does pay off. I am a testament to that.
