My Story
Nohl Takahashi and Primachord,
Auto-Biography.
Noel Takahashi is an independent singer-songwriter whose passion for music ignited at the young age of 12. Inspired by the iconic voices of Little Richard and Frank Sinatra, Noel knew that music would become an integral part of his life. As a graduate of the Musicians Institute of Hollywood RIT, he honed his skills in recording engineering and gained valuable experience working for Maverick Records under the guidance of the late Bill Dooley.
Noel’s journey took him to Tokyo, Japan, where he flourished as an English songwriter and played a significant role in the production of major acts for Sony BMG Music in Shibuya, Tokyo. Under the mentorship and management of Kyoshi Teranishi, owner of My Music Co in Harajuku, Japan, Noel collaborated with numerous talented musicians and performed at various venues, enriching his musical repertoire.
Upon returning to the United States, Noel was fortunate to continue his musical endeavors surrounded by gifted studio musicians and producers who deeply respected his talent. He looks forward to breaking new ground with his music, driven by a desire to inspire and connect with listeners who share his passion.
Noel’s multifaceted career also includes his role as a certified hearing instrument specialist and his past work as an emergency medical technician in Los Angeles. Despite these commitments, Noel remains a creatively vibrant singer-songwriter dedicated to sharing his music and forging meaningful connections through his art.
Primachord Music is proud to support Noel in his musical journey. Here, we will release new songs, productions, and videos, keeping the flame of independent artistry alive in a vast ocean of sound.
