Thank You Noah

Music is a huge part of my life, to the surprise of no one lol. It has gotten me through a lot. Noah Kahan has gotten me through a lot. If you haven’t heard his name by now, it’s only a matter of time. To try to explain the greatness that is Noah Kahan feels impossible, but I owe it to him to try. He is the most talented artist I have ever come across. By chance, I stumbled upon his music in 2019, and I’ve never been so grateful for anything. To see him grow since then has been an incredible gift. None of my friends knew his name years back, and now they all love him, from small concerts to sold out shows and tours, and having random people approach me while I’m wearing his tour sweatshirt – he deserves every ounce of success he has received and continues to receive. I’ve said it a million times, but I’ll say it again… I’ll get him that Grammy one day. I know it’s his dream, and it’s also one of my dreams. A win for him would feel like a win for myself too.

To know Noah Kahan, is to know love, to feel an outstretched hand helping you off the ground from miles and miles away. When the pandemic hit in 2020, it was Noah’s Instagram lives that made me feel a little less lonely. I had the privilege of seeing who he is as a person: genuine, humble, relatable, outright hilarious, and caring. His talent for putting feelings and emotions into words is unparalleled. His music makes you feel seen and understood. It’s there for you in a way no person ever could be. And obviously, his voice is flawless. Noah is an amazing performer, and arguably sounds even better live.

In 2021, I met Noah after his concert. To be able to look into his eyes and say thank you was the greatest feeling in the world. I shed some tears, and unfortunately it’s very apparent in the picture of us haha. In 2022, I gave him a handwritten letter after his concert. A month ago he tweeted this, “I keep every letter any fan has ever sent me in my special stuff zone and when things get hard, I look at what you wrote and try to see what you see in me.” I know my letter is in there and it warms my heart. I can never repay him for how much he has helped me. But little by little, I try as best as I can.

If you see this Noah, please let me work for you one day. I would love nothing more than to help you achieve your dream, I’m always in your corner. See you in June!
