Noa Jamir

Louisiana native Noa Jamir knows how it feels to live inside out— to live with her heart wide open. In doing so, she has been able to connect with people across the world, one tender song at a time.

After dropping out her last semester of college in early 2023, Noa felt embarrassed to tell her friends about her struggles with mental health. Consequently, the first half of the year was incredibly lonely as she watched her peers move on without her. In February of that year, Jamir wrote a song called “Subside”, a song about being on the outside of everything you’ve once known, and learning who you are on your own. It became the centerpiece of her debut album, CICADA, a compact, 8-track record chronicling the past couple years of the songwriter’s life. The record was released on Final Girl Records on July 12, 2024, and has since received critical acclaim, being named one of Stereogum’s ‘Albums of Note.’

Alongside recording, Jamir also performs around New Orleans and Lafayette, and has recently taken the stage to French Quarter Fest, Essence Fest, and the Acadiana Center of the Arts to perform in the 2024 NXT series.
