An engaging and dynamic presence on the music scene, 18 year old Noah Lis is creating a buzz with his keyboard and vocal talents at well known venues across the states. The energetic teen from Western Massachusetts has an extensive musical background and a rich expressive voice that reaches out and embraces audiences of all ages.

Noah was just 3 years old, when he belted out the National Anthem on a coffee table in his living room, and it was a mystery where he had learned those famous lyrics.

By the age of 6, he was playing piano by ear, and began classical instruction shortly after, with neighborhood music teacher, Lila Haendiges, who he credits for forcing him to read music.

In middle school, he added saxophone to his list of musical accomplishments, and by 11 had taught himself to sing and play some pop tunes on the piano.

Shortly after, he began working with jazz performance singer/songwriter Janet Ryan, and was also invited to join the 160 member Dan Kane Singers choral group, in which his powerful voice quickly earned him a soloist position.

Noah released his first CD entitled “Simple Things” in May, 2006 and claims it is a diverse selection of music that has something for everyone. He taught himself to keyboard at age 15, has dabbled in both drums and guitar, and is also trying his hand at songwriting.

Currently, Noah has just released a new Christmas Album entitled “The Gift” with renowned vocalist Traci Mnich. He is a hard working honor student in his senior year of high school, and although he spends most of his free time practicing and performing, music is much more a labor of love. He plays alto and tenor sax with his schools marching, symphonic, and jazz band, as well as soprano sax in a saxophone quartet group, and continues to wow audiences at local venues with his vocal and piano talents.

His future goals include attending college with a double major in Music and Business, while continuing to share his gift with others.

Despite Noah’s musical background, his parents insist he’s a regular teen who enjoys the great outdoors, and has many interests.

They credit his personality for the strength behind his passion. He is a very positive person, who is always happy, enthusiastic, and driven to perfect his musical abilities.
