Biography

Noah23 was born in 1978 in Natchez, Mississippi, and moved to Guelph, Ontario at the age of 4.^[1] He began rapping in the early 1990s^[2] and released his first album, originally entitled Plague Language, in 1999. This album, initially released on cassette, was remastered and released on CD in 2006 under the name Cytoplasm Pixel. In the late 1990s Noah started the record label Plague Language, which released music from a diverse roster of artists including Penny, Orko, Baracuda, and also producer Orphan, aka Kingston, who went on to become one half of Blue Sky Black Death. Plague Language no longer functions as a label, but exists as a loose Guelph-based hip-hop collective. Noah is currently involved in numerous Plague Language affiliated side-projects, including Famous Playaz, The Weird Apples, CRUNK23 and Bourgeois Cyborgs, but is primarily a solo artist signed with American label Fake Four Inc. Noah is also a producer, and is often credited for his production work under the name Warhol. In addition, he pursues post-folk and witch house side-projects, under the alternative monikers Yukon Dawn and SabrToof respectively.

He has shared the stage with cLOUDDEAD, Sole, Kool Keith, Islands, and Matisyahu,^[3] and many more, including The Constantines, Plastic Little, Ceschi Ramos, Eternia, Grand Buffet, K-the-I???, Buck 65, Josh Martinez, Modulok & Red Ants, The Saurus, Radioinactive, Shabba D, Awol One, DJ Scientist, Astronautalis, Cadence Weapon, Krinjah, Shad K, Busdriver, and Swollen Members.

On May 3, 2011 Noah announced that he would retire from music at the end of the year.^[4][5]
