Music is often said to be an art of the passionate. A musician must keep on making music dedicatedly. It’s important to hold your calling with honesty and work on it.
Ariah Noetzel, a Brooklyn-based musician/Vocalist as well as a songwriter who is back with her new song ‘Get Me Back’ which was released on May 31st this year. She was a semifinalist in the New York Coffee Music Project 2018 and was also press-covered for her song ‘Gold Bottle’, which is available on her website.
Objectives
Ariah’s sole objective of making music is to reach out to listeners who are struggling and empathize via music. She says, “I just love writing songs and singing. I want to share them with the world. When I write something which I’m proud of I get tears of joy and I want to spread that very feeling out in the world.”
Musical Journey
Ariah started writing songs when she was in high school. She says, “I was an awkward kid with low self-esteem who found her voice via singing.” Her dad drove her into the city every Monday to play at open mics in the east village to help her get over her stage fright and there she fell in love with performing and started booking some gigs. She continued to play at local venues in NYC throughout her time at NYU and was lucky enough to have the opportunity to record and release an EP in 2016.
Struggles & Inspirations
She had her ups and downs, highs and lows, with a 9 to 5 job at the desk, she continues to produce her music. She says, “Since releasing my EP, it seems my luck had run out as I continued to write songs and play shows with very limited money and resources to record my songs. At some point, I had grown defeated, especially during the COVID-19 wave where I was unable to play any show at all, but I was wrong. It’s a feeling – not a goal. When I started playing again it felt like reuniting with my true self. It felt amazing and I won’t give up on it again anytime soon.”
Ariah admits putting herself out there wasn’t very easy. She loved layers and collaboration in her music so she always wanted to be a member of a band. “I tried to form several bands but faced difficulties in organizing and maintaining members”, she adds. Her desire to put out her songs eventually led to solo work. She loves the chills of playing, it makes her spirit soar. She loves it when her listeners and audience connect and feel through her music.” She takes her music and aesthetic very seriously, which is the floral vintage visual theme. This theme defines her soul’s message – to keep it light-hearted, fun, silly but personable. She loves encouraging people with her awkwardness on-and-off stage, so often she jokes around with her audience and somehow that pulls off happiness for her too.
