Early life and career

Noble grew up travelling with his father, who served in the US military and travelled to wherever in the world he was stationed. His father died in an attempt to rescue another man when Nobel was aged four. He later moved to Long Island, New York with his mother and brother.[5] A year later, he began playing the piano and wrote poetry. Inspired by singer Prince and R&B musician D’Angelo, Nobel decided to pursue a career as a musical artist.[6]

On March 4, 2014, Nobel released his debut EP, Rebirth of Gene, which was described by Noisey as "Everything from his lofty vocals to the electro production."[7] He released a cover of the 2013 song "Say Something" by A Great Big World.[8]

In 2015, he released the song "Trust".[9] He previously released another song, titled "Money Over Bullshit".[10]

On October 6, 2017, he released the single "Never Know".[3]

In 2017, he released the song "Stolen Moments", which features LaChardon. It would be included on his debut studio album The Cost.[11] The song, as described by Nobel, is about "the story of two people who can’t officially be together because they are in other situations but it doesn’t prevent them from finding time for each other."[12]
