About this artist

German-born, Los Angeles-based Noah McBeth, aka NoMBe, is a singer/songwriter/producer known for atmospheric, minimalist modern R&B. He initially garnered buzz with his 2015 single “California Girls,” which paved the way for his 2018 debut album, They Might’ve Even Loved Me. A native of Heidelberg, Germany, NoMBe was born into a creative family with a drummer, producer, and songwriter father and a mother who worked as a fashion model. He is also the godson of iconic R&B vocalist Chaka Khan. Early on, NoMBe was encouraged to listen to classical music, and he studied piano while growing up. Along with his formal training, he began exploring more pop, dance, and R&B sounds and experimenting with songwriting and production. After spending time in New York, NoMBe relocated full-time to Los Angeles in 2013, where he launched his solo career. He initially garnered attention with his 2015 single “California Girls.” Two years later, he announced the arrival of his debut full-length album, They Might’ve Even Loved Me, by releasing one song a month. Included on the album were the tracks “Wait,” “Young Hearts,” and “Freak Like Me.” NoMBe’s song-a-month program continued into 2018 with “Drama” featuring Big Data. Following the release of his album, NoMBe stayed busy in 2020 releasing more non-album tracks, including “Paint California,” “Prototype,” and “Heels.” ~ Matt Collar
