As a student at Belmont, her new songs have built a following of fans, as well as sparked interest in Nashville publishers leading to collaboration with award-winning songwriters. Most recently featured as a New and Notable artist on Noisetrade, Noreen’s latest compilation was downloaded over 630 times. Her latest single “Scary as Hell” speaks of a lost love and the empty promises left with it, and has opened opportunities to work with multi-Grammy award winning country artist Alison Krauss. Her incisive lyrics, powerful voice, and captivating stage presence set her apart from the sea of singer-songwriters hoping to break into country music.
