Introducing Noelle Bean

The great thing about Facebook networks is that you get to connect with people you might not otherwise. This is how I came to meet Miss Noelle Bean. As talented as she is sweet, getting to know singer/songwriter Noelle at our photo shoot was incredibly fun. Below, Noelle talks about her music, her dreams and recording her first single.... { JJP }

"I've been playing guitar for about a year and a half and I absolutely love it. It's a funny story how I got my first one. My mom was the registrar at my high school and a lady came asking if she knew of anyone at the school who was wanting to learn guitar... For Christmas that year I went to this sweet woman's house and she gave it to me wrapped in ribbon. That was the best gift I could've ever received."


"I want to be known as an artist who is relatable in every song that I write... music you can feel. I want to say things through my songs that others can't say for themselves but when they hear the words they can relate and know that there is acceptance and others out there going through the same thing, whether it be happy or sad or even a bit crazy!

My favorite song to perform without a doubt is "Sunshine". It is dedicated to my little sister, Isabella, and was written in the memory of my father, David Bean, who passed when I was 11. Out of every song I've written, "Sunshine" took me the longest to write considering I had so much to say... There was a lot of hurt and bitterness that I had to get rid of before writing that song. I wanted this song to be a reminder of how we overcame the struggles and loss of a great father. It's called "Sunshine" because that was my sister's nickname from my dad and it was one of our brightest memories of him. I think this song means so much to me because it is such a tender subject in my life. Being so open about it has helped others relate to a loss they may have experienced as well."



"I have been tracking in the studio for my first single release, "Like To Love You". I am beyond excited about this one. I'm working on a demo project as well with more originals. You can find a sneaky peak of my music on my Youtube Channel. Also, Facebook me @ noelle.bean & Twitter noellebean.

All of my info about upcoming shows around the DFW area will be located on both! I'd love for anyone and everyone to come and support the music. The more the merrier!"

Welcome!
