Noella Choi is a rarity in today's music scene. In a business full of manufactured pop stars, this Canadian Singer-Songwriter takes full control over her music from writing to arranging, recording, mixing, and producing.
Like her debut, "RESTLESS," her sophomore effort, "IN MY ELEMENTS" is just that, containing 10 original songs carefully crafted with strong melodies and poignant lyrics. But perhaps what stands out the most is her soulful and sultry voice bringing emotions to each track which speaks directly to the listener.
This can be attributed to her musical training. Noella earned an Honours Bachelor of Music Degree in Theory and Composition from the University of Western Ontario, where she also majored in Voice. Fresh out of college, Noella was hired on as a Music Director at TVB (Television Broadcast, Hong Kong), completing over 200 episodes of "Virtues of Harmony I." She has also provided vocals for songs used in TVB series such as "Life Begins At Forty," "Good Against Evil," and most notably for the featured song, "Precious Moment" from "Dance of Passion" AKA "Fire Dance, Yellow Sand," which is included on, "IN MY ELEMENTS."
Another song included on the album "Happy People" was originally a jingle for which Noella had written for a Restaurant called, "Platform2" which airs on Fairchild Television. Her own favourite song is the opening track, "Solace" and is one of two songs which she collaborated with Producer Darryl Neudorf who produced and engineered "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood" by Neko Case. The song has also received an "Honourable Mention" from the Unisong International Songwriting Contest as well as a "Best Vocalist of the Month" finalist from Singer Universe Magazine.
Currently, Noella is the Music Supervisor for OUTtv's "Chris and John" series and is also the lead female singer of Toronto based Chinese Band, DYNASTY MUSIC GROUP (http://www.dynastymusicgroup.com Next, Noella can be heard in the TVB Drama Series "Dance for Love" (starring Steven Ma, Bernice Liu) performing, the Brazilian classic, "Manha De Carnaval," as well as an original song for which she also wrote the lyrics, "Collide."
