In addition to his global reach and appeal, in early 2022, NOËP was nominated for the record-breaking 6 awards at the Estonian Music Awards, receiving Male Artist and Pop Artist of the Year, as well as Album and Pop Album of the year for his debut album ‘No Man Is An Island’.
NOËP aka Andres Kõpper, first came to attention with tracks ‘Move’, ‘Rooftop’ and ‘New Heights’, released through Sony Sweden, which have accumulated over 20 million streams on Spotify. His burgeoning reputation is growing internationally, with captivating live performances everywhere from Dubai and Beirut to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and The Great Escape in Brighton. One of NOËP’s most popular singles ‘fk this up’, accompanied by a self-directed video, was licensed to Warner Music and soon became a top 5 airplay hit in Italy, while entering Spotify's Viral Charts in various international markets like GSA, France, Benelux and the UK. ’fk this up' has gained over 11 million streams, and has recently reached a gold record status in Italy. NOËP also received the ‘Pop Album of the Year’ award at the Estonian Music Awards in 2019, for his debut EP ‘Heads In The Clouds’.
As an adventurous soul, NOËP never says no to interesting projects whether it’s performing 170m up in the air on top of the TV tower, at the 2020 World Rally Championship opening show, or actively taking part in World Cleanup Day campaigns, to name a few. His live shows are as attention grabbing and emotive as his recorded music. Kõpper is a charismatic performer, equally capable of breaking into dance with the audience as well as drawing them in for moments of intimacy.
NOËP’s EP ‘Folktonic’ which was released in early 2021, consisted of remixes of Estonian traditional music. At the end of last year, Folktonic won the Remix of the Year award from Radio2 Estonia.
NOËP’s debut album ‘No Man Is An Island' (via Warner Music Baltics/Humming Records) was released in November 2021. The darker sound of the album was inspired by the cold dark Estonian winter during which it was written and produced. One of the highlights of the album is ‘Kids’, a collaboration with a German artist Emily Roberts, which has landed numerous placements on top Spotify playlists all over the world.
NOËP’s latest release, ‘N.Y.M.P.H.O.maniac’, released on Sept 30th, celebrates the beginning of a brighter, more up-beat musical era. The single is self-written and self-produced and features funky bass-lines and guitar-riffs, influenced by Nile Rodgers and Pharrell Williams.
