Nora was born in Philadelphia, PA, and grew up in East Hampton, NY. She is a junior at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU and plans to graduate in 2026. Nora is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter whose musical career up until college has taken place on the East End of Long Island where she spends her summers playing solo gigs and working at a vintage clothing store. Her journey started in sixth grade when she started playing at open mics with a borrowed ukulele. She picked up the guitar the summer of 2017 and hasn’t looked back since then. Nora’s first gigs were at Harbor Bistro with Josh Brussel during the summer of 2019.  She began putting together a setlist, and before long, she was able to book some of her own solo gigs.  She has become a regular on the Hamptons music circuit playing at multiple venues including the Stephen Talkhouse, 668 the Gig Shack, Baystreet Theatre and many more! In her sophomore year of high school, she started an all girls band called DiNK! that has since disbanded, but she loves playing in a band and often gigs with friends Dot Sacks, Tony Genovesi, and Kiera Ellison. Performing aside, Nora is also an experienced audio engineer as she has been working on and off at Fraser Sound Studios in Williamsburg for the past four years as an assistant engineer and mixer. Her most recent project at Fraser was to design and spec out a fully integrated pedalboard patch-bay. She is very excited to put it together when Fraser gets all the hardware needed. As much as Nora loves the community of musicians and support for local music that she has back home, since coming to NYU she has realized that she wants to broaden her horizons and take the next step in her career. She released her first single Cut It Out on all streaming platforms in September and has been working on a collection of songs that she plans to release in the near future, in the form of an EP.
