Why We Started Noise

The music industry is broken. We decided to fix it.

In 2019, we looked at the landscape for emerging artists and saw a system designed to extract value, not create it. Labels demanded masters before they would invest. Studios charged more than most artists could afford. And live venues were closing at an alarming rate.

So we built Noise — a social enterprise that wraps around artists instead of wrapping them up in contracts. Five arms, one mission: get emerging talent from bedroom to stage on their terms.

Five years later, we have supported over 500 artists, put on more than 1,200 live shows, and generated millions of streams — all without taking a single master or locking anyone into a deal they would regret.
