Noah Kahan is an American singer-songwriter who has taken the music world by storm with his honest, vulnerable folk-pop sound. Born in Strafford, Vermont, he spent his childhood writing songs on a quiet tree farm. He began playing open mics at age twelve before landing a major record deal at age twenty. His earliest success came with the viral single “Hurt Somebody”. He followed this with his debut studio album, Busyhead, in 2019. His true mainstream commercial breakthrough arrived with his 2022 third album, Stick Season. The project fully embraced his New England roots, telling stories of small-town isolation and seasonal changes. It struck a deep chord worldwide, earning him a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist and a spot on Time Magazine’s list of the world’s most influential people. Noah is highly praised for his deep lyrics about mental health and anxiety. He regularly gives back to these causes through his own charitable foundation, the Busyhead Project. In 2026, he reached even greater heights by releasing his highly anticipated fourth album, The Great Divide, alongside an intimate documentary titled Noah Kahan: Out of Body. The new music achieved historic vinyl and streaming sales, debuting at number one on the Billboard charts. Noah now commands massive stadium tours, bringing his raw, emotional live performances to hundreds of thousands of adoring fans across the globe. He remains a deeply authentic artist who prefers true human connection over typical pop glamour.
