Weinsanto, Off-White, Pressiat or Undercover.

Just five years ago, Noah was entering the “darkest period” of his short life.

Encouraged by her partner, Cyrus became addicted at the age of 18. Her memory failed her even in the most recent episodes, she wasn’t even able to remember what day she lived on and she had suicidal thoughts. “I wanted to fit in with him. I wanted to be what he wanted and what he thought was cool, what he thought everyone else was doing (…) I felt for a moment that it was possible to silence everything for a second and numb my pain, to be able to say ‘It’s over’, he confesses . Everything changed after the death of her maternal grandmother, when she realized her inability to accompany her family in mourning for being “gone”.

A pop work in which she offers details of her country roots and her folk influences to tell the ups and downs of her troubled career in a positive way. “When I lost my grandmother and got out of that toxic relationship, I was gone both emotionally and physically. So I weighed my options: life or death. I wanted to find purpose and hope. I chose life and now I am experiencing happiness and joy for the first time since I was a child”, admits the artist in the magazine V. Her first fan, and a pillar in her recovery, is Miley herself, who doesn’t hesitate to throw all the ‘flowers’ at her: “Noah is my favorite revelation artist. And not because he is my little sister but because of his way of writing and his awareness of who he is as an artist. When I reflect on the records I made when I was her age, I feel like there was a disconnect between me and my music, but Noah has always been consistent with who she really is. She is my favorite artist”.
