Noel has been playing and recording in studios and at home for about 15 years, has almost completed a first CD project, "Mercy Harbor". He has run open mics in the South Bay area near L.A. and runs an on line radio stream, Coverunner Radio - Ocean/Island Music - www.coverunner.com where he plays sailing and ocean tunes by well-known and unknown indie artists.

Noel records when he feels like it and then goes out and tests his songs on live audiences at small venues in the South Bay. He tests them on his own on-line stream as well.

He is a recording engineer/video editor by trade and works as a freelance tape operator on film press junkets in Hollywood. He's lived aboard a 34' sailboat with his wife and golden retriever for the last 15 years.
