BioIn January 2007, Bree Noble was named Best Female Performer at the Inland Empire Music Awards in Southern California. Her powerful vocals and commanding stage presence have won over audiences at large venues such as Saddleback Church and Dodger Stadium and at intimate venues like small town churches and coffeehouses.
Although Bree?s vocals are always compelling, they are not her greatest asset. Songwriting is her real signature as an artist. Her style has been compared to Nichole Nordeman, Ginny Owens & Sara Groves. Musically it is a blend of Contemporary and Adult Alternative that is both mainstream and eclectic.
Bree likes to think of herself not as a Christian songwriter, but as a songwriter who is a Christian. She writes about specific aspects of her own Christian walk, but she also writes about problems that are universal like greed, homelessness, racism, and family situations. Her lyrics explore common emotional issues: apathy, fear, loneliness, mistrust, and seeking joy in suffering. And then there are those special songs that are her most personal, that convey her heart, not just as a woman of faith but as an individual who has learned to overcome great adversity. Bree has Glaucoma and has been legally blind since birth. With songs such as ?Running? and ?You Are My Vision? she unveils her most intimate feelings about growing up with a disability and how it has affected her life and her relationship with God.
Bree has performed with several bands over the past 15 years including Zephaniah (Westmont College touring ensemble), Day One, and the all-female Alternative Rock band Not Martha. In 2002, she released her first solo album, Overwhelmed, on the MP3.com independent label. Many of the songs from the album placed in the top 10 on the MP3.com Christian charts. Songs from the CD were also featured on other compilation projects. The song ?Reason To Smile? was featured on a benefit CD called ?Hold On Baby Jacob?, while the title track was featured on a CD called ?With My Song? put out by the website WeAreChristian.com. By popular demand, the album Overwhelmed was re-released in 2005 on Gevania Records LLC.
Bree was a chief collaborator and vocalist on a new Broadway style musical called Little Italian Girl. She enjoyed writing music to fit the storyline and weaving some of her older material into the fabric of the story. The result was a CD of highlights from the musical released in 2003 as well as a CD of Bree?s best solo work from the project called Can You See The Stars released on Gevania Records LLC in 2004.
Bree enjoys collaborating with other songwriters and lending her unique vocals to projects by other artists. She appears as a guest vocalist on several other projects by Indie artists including David Aucoin, Jerry Allen, Allan Licht and Michael Borges. Recently she has signed contracts with Victoria Lane Publishing and Allan Bradley Music Publishing.
Bree?s 3rd solo CD Healing Waters was produced by veteran CCM & AC producer Allan Licht. Released in September 2006, Healing Waters has generated stellar sales and reviews from sites like ChristianMusic.Suite101.com, Depot-Radio.com and Channel Z?s ?The Zeph Report?. In July 2006 Bree was honored to perform the national anthem in front of 56,000 people at Dodger Stadium. Bree performs solo and with her band throughout Southern and Northern California at churches, special events, coffee houses and festivals.

Review
To say that Bree Noble has a beautiful voice is an undersatement. After listening to a few of Bree's songs the staff at Christian Mix Inet had a difficult decision as to which cuts we wanted to add to the playlist. We could not decide so we added all of them!
Bree has been dealt some health and vision hardships along the way, in addition to her gifts. She says that her upbringing taught her that life is what you make it. Her music is vocal proof of that very philosophy.
