Noush Skaugen

In 2006 European Entertainment Magazine "20 Minutes" called her the "poster-child of the digital music revolution". Mark Yoshimoto of Sirrius Satellite Radio referred to Noush as "Possibly the best singer you haven't heard yet". In 2007 she was awarded two of the biggest independent music awards with her debut EP “Palomino”; “Alternative Pop Artist of the Year” at The Los Angeles Music Awards and “National Independent EP of the Year” at The Hollywood Fame Awards . With the self-released “Palomino” a new era broke for Noush. All 3 single releases landed major airplay on both satellite radio stations across the USA and Canada. The singles “Gone” and “Skid” became regulars on leading music and lifestyle podcasts in 2006. “Gone” entered the international PodPlay Top 10 charts right after its release in October of 2006, and stayed there for the rest of the month. In national AAA Radio “Gone” still maintains a strong position in the top 100 charts (#55 in December). The "Palomino" record was licensed for numerous MTV shows including 'Real World' and 'The Hills', as well as the program 'Bad Girls' featured on the Oxygen Network. The 2007 “Palomino” National US tour brought Noush Skaugen to stages like The Viper Room, SXSW, Texas Rockfest, XFest, Midpoint Music Festival, The Whisky a GoGo and Hollywood’s Music Box Theater. Growing up in London Noush was classically trained on the flute, saxophone and piano. She had her musical home with the famous London Barbican Orchestra for years before her journey to America. Her band skills were fostered by playing in a plethora of Jazz and Funk bands in the usual London haunts at the time. Noush will be releasing her highly anticipated Debut LP 'Lost and Found' April 2008. Subscribe to 'Backstage' on www.noushskaugen.com for your copy of the record, also will be available on Itunes. Trivia: Studied Law at Warwick University because her parents insisted on her getting a degree. PRESS QUOTES: "Skaugen's rocketed through the alternative circuit building name recognition - and critical acclaim. She's ready to break through to the national scene at any moment" Pitch Perfect Reviews/Bryan Cox "Joni Mitchell's cool, Stevie Nicks' passion, Mick Jagger's kineticism" Citybeat/Brian Baker "Honestly one of the best rock performances I've seen in my life", on Skaugen's performance at The Hollywood Fame Awards 2007, "it is very clear that this british/scandinavian hot-blood is going places" Bitnotes/Newsvine.com "Talent and a lot of Hard Work can Take You Anywhere" Jonathan Kramm/Express Jet In-Flight Magazine "This multi-faceted EP whose mix of elegance and edge and electric and acoustic pop/rock songs defined "indie" in 2007". "This all too brief EP whet the indie rock world's whistle for more from this bright and irresistible talent" AMG's All Music Guide/Jonathan Widran. "A Singular Identity" Music Connection "Female singer/songwriters are a dime a dozen; ones as talented as Noush are not." J. Sin, Smother Magazine "Possibly the best singer you haven't heard yet" Sirius Satellite Radio. "I would guess that Skaugen was a major label artist if I did not have the CD in front of me" Neu Futur Magazine. "Poster-child of the digital music revolution" Swiss Entertainment Magazine '20 Minutes "You know it's real when it's felt all through your body" Austin Women's Music Festival 2007.

'One of Britain's upcoming singing gems' MAXIM - Exclusive Acoustic Set

Recently I stoppped by MAXIM magzine's local in London to play a few stripped down tunes with my boys John and Greg. Two of which I had just written a few days earlier! AUTOMATIC with Nik Kershaw, and DON'T GET ME STARTED with Steve Balsamo & Ben Robbins. Of course had to play my fave SATISFACTION off my 'Lost and Found' record:) Enjoy.... xoxo
'Twas the last Friday before December, we were feeling jaded, run-down, and, admittedly, a bit hungover. The perfect remedy: invite a beautiful, upcoming British pop/rock singer into our local pub to blow us away with three tracks of melodic splendour!
Run along Nurofen and Echinacea, Noush Skaugen cures physical and mental evils in a far more pleasing manner.
The Swedish-born songstress is one of Britain's upcoming singing gems with a voice that's soft and powerful in equal measure. After "working her butt off" over the last couple of years, she's built up MORETHANONE-MILLION TWITTER FOLLOWERS, released the album 'Lost And Found' to critical acclaim, and has a new opus on the horizon for spring 2010.
She will be big, oh yes.
Check out her EXCLUSIVE stripped-down set at our local boozer, where she performed acoustic renditions of two tracks from said album (the brilliant 'Automatic' and 'Satisfaction'), plus the brand new track - 'Don't Get Me Started' - written only days previously. So it's probably its FIRST EVER performance! We feel privileged.
We loved them all. We think you will too!

FRESH OF THE PRESS INTERVIEW

So one Friday strolling around London I popped into a Soho pub for a
few cheeky ones and a chat with Kevin Holmes at Kontraband – talked
about if I’m a Stones or Beatles fan, how music used to (and will
again!) change the world and the Mighty Boosh…

…might have exposed some on the road stories I shouldn’t have but
hey… it’s Rock n Roll this is what we said [2]…
