Janet Noh

Biography

JANET NOH is a bi-coastal (NYC & LA) songwriter, singer, actor, and classical pianist. With a double major in economics and history from Yale, she started her career as an investment banker on Wall Street. But spreadsheets couldn’t feed a creative spirit. After winning a scholarship at NYU-Tisch and receiving her M.F.A. in musical theatre writing, she abandoned finance for good. Since graduating in 2016, she made her Broadway debut in ROCKTOPIA and has been a featured performer at Lincoln Center, New York City Center, Public Theater, Signature Theater, and more. Right before the pandemic shut down Broadway stages, she was grateful to have gotten to play the principal role of Ella in MACK & MABEL at New York City Center (Encores!).

Janet has been a guest artist at Columbia University, Borough of Manhattan Community College, and Marymount Manhattan College. She is a songwriting teaching artist at Lincoln Center Theater.

Janet’s musical works include: The Island Club (Chicken Soup for the Soul, Concord Theatricals/R&H Theatricals), Pangaea (Live & In Color, MMC, Frederick Loewe Foundation), and an original piece for the BARS Workshop written with original cast members of Hamilton (Public Theater). She's been commissioned to write songs for New York Film Academy, Broadway Inspirational Voices, Ronald McDonald House, Hear Her Song / Yang Lan, MuseMatch, City College of New York. Recently, she gave a TED talk about her musical journey at the TEDxMidAtlantic Conference for 1200 attendees in Washington, D.C. She wrote songs and cues for the live-action feature film, Anastasia (Paramount Pictures, Amazon, Netflix, Disney+), which was released on all major VHS streaming platforms in spring 2020. Currently, Janet is working on several new musicals and her debut album of original songs. www.janetnohmusic.com / IG: @janetnoh
