Isla Noon has quickly become one of this year’s most exciting fresh artists, with her touchingly introspective and ambitiously cinematic debut track Summer in August released at the very end of 2020.
Bigpop has been stoked to accompany Isla Noon on her journey over the past three years, developing her songwriting ability and building a close relationship with producer and engineer, Maude Minnie Morris. Throughout our partnership, Isla Noon continues to surprise and impress, already pulling interest from commercial radio even before the track’s release.
?Isla Noon’s love for music has organically drawn her into the Bigpop orbit; “I wrote little songs as a child, just singing,” she said. “A few years later I picked up guitar so I could play what I was writing.” That passion for songwriting soon pulled Isla Noon towards a Bachelor of Music at the University of Auckland, where she was first introduced to Bigpop.
“That was when I really stepped into a more professional work ethic,” said Isla Noon, “as I met more people in the music industry, I was referred for vocal work at a few studios in Auckland, mostly with Bigpop.”
“I signed onto Bigpop Records in 2017 and have been developing under this label ever since.”
That’s far from the end of Isla Noon’s story, though. We’ve provided full studio access and an unrestricted timeframe for her to develop her artistic voice, allowing her to refine herself to a precise edge.
Integral to her process is creative freedom; “once I’ve figured out a vibe, I do some free writing of lyrics,” said Isla Noon of her process, “I often have visuals in mind based on how the idea is sounding: landscapes, people, and colours that feed into the imagery or mood of each line.”
In allowing Isla Noon to develop herself naturally and without restriction, she’s been able to premiere herself wholly and authentically, confidently standing alongside her work, rather than behind it. In this way, Isla Noon has proven herself to be a one-of-a-kind talent that can’t be ignored.
