Originally from Sydney, Noakesy creates music that sounds better the louder you play it. A multi-instrumentalist and ginger in denial, Noakesy is known for his classic "beat the living shit out of the piano" playing style, with artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:3PhoLpVuITZKcymswpck5b" data-name="Elton John">Elton John</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6zFYqv1mOsgBRQbae3JJ9e" data-name="Billy Joel">Billy Joel</a> serving as his main point of inspiration.
Noakesy released his debut EP, "Yesterday's Paper" in March 2023. A concept album mixed by Adrian Breakspear (<a href="spotify:artist:142YBUGmLWCJigFLzgguf8" data-name="Gang of Youths">Gang of Youths</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2RdwBSPQiwcmiDo9kixcl8" data-name="Pharrell Williams">Pharrell Williams</a>) and set in a pub-in-the-armpit-of-nowhere, “Yesterday’s Paper” fuses a sense of snowflakey Gen-Z angst and inauthentic self-awareness to comment on just how hard it is to be a white, middle-class ginger with a stable family environment.
During a songwriting workshop with Justin Timberlake, JT described Noakesy's music as "really hook-y, in a good way". Noakesy is still trying to determine what this actually means.
Now Noakesy in his original form (what a wank) is DEAD. He's GONE and he's NOT COMING BACK. But the good news is, private-school boy Charlie Boring is coming soon. Noakesy's still Noakesy but he's playing a character. Like I said - what a wank.
