MARIE NOËL
Marie Noël is a Finn-Swede artist whose work moves between music, performance, writing and visual storytelling. With a background that spans classical training, choral performance, fine arts, acting and philosophy, she creates music that is both emotionally intimate and conceptually grounded. Her sound lives somewhere between classical music, nostalgia, art pop, indie soul, and cinematic music.
Rooted in years of professional training and a lifelong relationship with the arts, Marie now writes, composes and produces her music independently. Her artistic process is multidisciplinary by nature: she approaches a song through her discipline in harmonies, building a world and giving it a heartbeat before getting curious about the words that she wants to say together with accompaning images.
Today, Marie is focused on developing her artistic catalogue, releasing her solo work, and expanding her presence both in Finland and internationally. Her latest releases reflect the convergence of her artistic worlds: a blend of voice, story, and atmosphere that invites the listener into something personal yet universal.
"As Marie Noël grows and matures, her songs take different shapes and colors. Soon the shadows too come out and play... Expect the unexpected."

Winter Song (feat. Pappa Y) transforms grief into gentle strength
Following her return to music, Marie Noël released Winter Song (feat. Pappa Y) on the 7th of November 2025, just in time for Father's Day. A tender indie soul collaboration with her father who faces illness, the song transforms grief into gentle strength.
“Winter Song continues what my debut started, revealing an old diary entry and bringing light to a dark time. My dad and I retreated to the countryside to record his electric guitar as he battles cancer. Instead of fearing death, I chose to fear an unlived life and make my dream of releasing music together true."
A gentle fight song carried by soulful, soft feminine power, Winter Song unites us in our quiet battles.

Marie Noël has a broad and well-rooted background in music and the arts, shaped by some of Finland’s most respected institutions and teachers
Marie began singing at the age of six in Kameleonttikuoro, a contemporary choir led by the internationally recognised conductor Sanna Valvanne. With the choir she performed frequently at venues such as the Helsinki Festival and the Finnish National Opera, appeared on Yle TV’s Musiikkimatka performing the Finn-Swede song Vinden drar and sang as a soloist with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra on a recording that was broadcast on Yle for several years during the Christmas season.
In her teens she joined the world-renowned Tapiola Choir, touring churches and concert halls in Finland, France and Portugal. With the choir she recorded Einojuhani Rautavaara’s works for Ondine Records, performing the role of Emo in Marjatta, matalaneiti.
Alongside her choral work, Marie studied classical piano, music theory and music technology at Espoo Music Institute, pop-jazz singing at its' rhytmic music department Ebeli, later continuing at Sandels Music School, where she majored in classical singing under Ritva-Liisa Korhonen of the Finnish National Opera. This training forms the technical foundation of her vocal and compositional style.
Her artistic practice expanded early into visual art, ceramics, poetry, photography and dance through her art-focused upper secondary studies - a multidisciplinary approach that still shapes her work today. She later graduated from the music class at Tölö Specialiseringsgymnasium, one of Finland’s two Swedish-speaking music high schools. As an adult, she has continued to broaden her craft through training in acting, including Meisner technique and intensive on-camera work, which now informs the emotional and narrative depth of her music.
Before releasing her own music, Marie collaborated with various artists and producers; her harmonies can be heard on tracks such as Ruger Hauer’s Charlie Mansonin Häät and Aves' Elise. She now produces and releases independently, developing a sound that moves between her classical foundation and multidisciplinary background.
