Noelle has been playing the piano since the age of three. She wrote her first song at the ripe age of seven and starting writing original songs more consistently in high school. After spending two years in Youth With A Mission (YWAM) she moved to Columbus, Ohio to be part of a young adult movement called Joshua House at Vineyard Church of Columbus. Having been part of worship bands since she was sixteen she was thrilled to be able to step into a role helping to lead worship at Joshua House. She also began recording her first album of original music. "Tailored" was an indie release in 1998 that featured 10 songs about the deepest questions life has and some of the answers we can find. Noelle had many opportunities to play at local coffeehouses, bars and theatres in addition to her worship responsibilities at JHouse. She also had the privilege of playing at Cornerstone Music Festival in Bushnell, Illinois and the famed club, "The Bitter End" in New York City. - Read more
