HELP ME PERFORM IN LOS ANGELES!

1/23/2024 - We just booked our flight to LA! It’s on a payment plan that I’m gonna pay off before we leave, but it’s still booked nonetheless! Now we just need a hotel for two nights. Thank you to everyone who has given a few dollars and shared the campaign! I see you and appreciate you all so much for helping me make this a possibility

1/20/2024 - We’re already at 20%, y’all!!! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! Please keep sharing as much as you can! I appreciate you all endlessly  

Hey, friends! I'm Noah, if you're randomly stumbling upon this page and are wondering who I am. I'm a singer, songwriter, and producer based in Knoxville, Tennessee. I market my music under the "pop" or "alternative" umbrellas, but I'm always experimenting with new genres; some genres I've explored in the past include R&B, singer-songwriter/folk and avant-garde. I've been creating music all my life, and my dream has always been to pursue it as a full-time career; traveling around the world, writing and performing music with my friends/peers/people I admire, and creating a safe space through music for people in the same way that I've found one in it. You can listen to all of my music and find my social media here: https://linktr.ee/darealnoahgray

The reason I'm creating a GoFundMe campaign is because I was presented with a HUGE opportunity to perform at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, California. The Hotel Cafe has hosted a wide variety of artists over the years right before their big breaks, including many that I've admired; these artists include Adele, Katy Perry, Billie Eilish, The Lumineers, Imogen Heap, Sara Bareilles, Alanis Morissette, Sia and John Mayer, among many others. I will be updating this page once the website has been updated with ticket info, which I'm told will be sometime mid-February or possibly earlier; in the meantime, here's the venue website for those interested: https://www.hotelcafe.com/

The show date is March 12th, and will feature two other artists who I'm really excited to meet and share the stage with. Of course, to get there is not cheap by any means, and a road trip just wouldn't be the best idea, considering the almost 2,000 mile divide between Knoxville and LA. Any money made from this campaign will be directed towards travel expenses for myself and my partner to fly out for a couple of days, rent transportation, stay in a clean hotel and afford food for the time we'll be there. (I'm very excited to try my first In-N-Out burger while I'm there, by the way :P) Whatever may be left over will used for music equipment upgrades.

I truly believe music builds community, and I'm so incredibly grateful to everyone that has taken the time to listen to my music and come listen to me perform, on a local level. This is part of the next step and I will be endlessly grateful if you're able to spare a couple of dollars to help fund my dream. Thank you so much for visiting!

(P.S. - I have a new song titled 'disposable' coming out January 26th that I'm extremely excited to drop, so please go follow my social media for updates on when it releases! )
