Noreh's major career move

With his infectious melodies and raw lyricism fueled by his haunting vocals, Noreh has transitioned from an indie artist to landing his first record label with 5020 Records (released by Sony Music).

“We've been independent for a while, but I'm clear that every part of the process (as difficult as it was) brought us here,” said the Venezuelan artist and former Bulletin board For Radar Latin act, expressed on an Instagram position. “I never included the word 'dream' in my vocabulary because I felt that wanting big things wasn't for people like me and luckily I was wrong! […] Right now it's coming together: your support, my hard working team, tattoo ballads + the new opportunity and a new group of people willing to add to and enhance what we're already doing and even more importantly: that these the songs reach many more corners. I'm 27 years old and this is just getting started. 5020, you and I are going to make a great album.”

“We are extremely happy to welcome Noreh as a new member of the 5020 Records family,” said Rafa Arcaute, president of 5020 Records in a press statement. “His innovative approach to music and ability to connect with audiences on a deep level make him the perfect addition to our artist roster. We are excited about the opportunity to support his artistic development and help him achieve even greater success.”
