Noise Color also known as Conner Mulcahy is a singer, songwriter, and producer who makes conceptual neo-psychedelic, indie rock and electronic-infused pop. He first came onto the scene with his 2019 single “Emphasis On You” before expanding his style with the aggressively experimental Halloween instrumental released on Oct 29, 2020 “This House Isn't Haunted You Just Live Here”. In 2021, he emotively opened up about his disability and experience in a wheelchair on the aptly titled “Chair”. Born and raised in California’s Bay Area, Conner grew up in a musical family, his childhood filled with a flurry of classic music as a foundation of 60’s british invasion, musicals, and a more modern and electronic musical education from his mother.
Interested in creating from a young age, he wrote his first ballad “Falling Close To You” at the age of 10 about the destructive relationship between himself, his mother and her then boyfriend. At age 12 tragedy struck when Conner was in an accident that would change the course of his life forever. In the summer before eighth grade, a boating vacation gone wrong would leave him with a Spinal Cord Injury and the likelihood of being in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. After a time of grief and acceptance this invigorated Conner’s drive to create music. Not for himself this time but in the hopes he could make genuine emotional connections to potential fans and help other young kids that fell into a similar situation as his.
