NOAHFINNCE entered the music scene after building an audience as an LGBTQ+ social media influencer, channeling the jittery drive, insistent melodies, and defiant attitude long central to punk. The 2024 debut album Growing Up on the Internet signals his rejection of convention through its very title. Deeply embedded in online culture and versed in memes, the artist assembles pieces of earlier pop eras into statements about the current moment.

Noah Finna Adams, born August 18, 1999, in Ascot, England, developed an early attachment to pop punk. The English band Busted provided entry to emo groups such as Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance, though he retained his preference for frantic strumming and persistent hooks. After beginning as a drummer, he turned to guitar during his teenage years.

Adams first posted covers online in 2015 under the name Triggerwarningrat, drawing notice especially for a rendition of Grace VanderWaal’s “I Don’t Know My Name.” Around 2017 he exited boarding school and came out publicly as transgender, then spent the next year documenting his transition in blog posts.

In 2018 he issued the ukulele track “Asthma Attack” as Noah Adams and appeared on that year’s Warped Tour. He soon adopted the performing name NOAHFINNCE, dividing his output between motivational and instructional LGBTQ+ video posts and original music.

After signing with Hopeless Records in 2020, NOAHFINNCE first connected with streaming listeners through “Life’s a Bit,” featured on the 2021 EP Stuff from My Brain. A 2022 U.S. tour with Sophie Powers preceded the release of the EP My Brain After Therapy. In 2023, following American dates with Bears in Trees, he broadened his circle of collaborators by working with McFly’s Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones on Growing Up on the Internet, his first full-length album. The record, produced by Stefan, Lawrent, Thomas Mitchener, and Arcades, arrived in March 2024.
