NOODLES

Micah was born in San Francisco and raised in the East Bay's Hayward, CA. From a large Filipino family, she recalls the pressures that many Asian American kids face: a family that demanded success. Venturing into the local scene, she was captivated. "As I was discovering clubs, I was so fascinated with how DJs controlled the vibe of the entire room. That's when I realized, 'Since my Pops DJs, I should ask him to teach me properly how to do it.'" Micah's father, a former resident mixer, gladly taught his teenage daughter to mix, scratch, and beat-count. She saved up and applied these analog techniques to emerging digital technology.

Branding herself NOODLES, Micah gained on-the-spot experience by playing clubs and events around the Bay. Music manager David Ali began helping NOODLES book gigs during her time earning a bachelor's degree at San Francisco's Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. Two years later, David Ali contacted NOODLES with an idea, introducing her to Kehlani on the same call. Upon the release of 2014 mixtape Cloud 19, the emerging teenage R&B singer needed a DJ for her first tour. "It was a year of us figuring it out, struggling together." It also forged a strong bond that went beyond the stage. The two have performed together ever since.

Micah's intersection of interests is apparent in her authentic online brand. This includes the popular Send Noodz merchandise line, carefully curated social media, graphic design, her viral Soundcloud mixes, and classic DJ edits. As a solo act, she's played festivals, including Bumbershoot, Fvded In The Park, Camp Flog Gnaw, Sol Blume, Wireless, Soulection Experience, Something In The Water, DirtyBird Campout, Okeechobee festival, and many more. NOODLES has also completed a headlining tour called "SAYONARA" which consisted of 16 shows across the United States, selling hard tickets, merch, and meet & greet passes. In October 2021 Skrillex asked NOODLES to open up for his rare headline show at the Avant Gardner music venue in Brooklyn, New York. From there she has been getting acknowledged by many big electronic acts. Her stylish and versatile range in music stemming from Hip-Hop, R&B, and electronic sets have also led to residencies at 1OAK and Jewel Nightclub on the Las Vegas strip. It's an expanding career that never stops evolving.

Whether performing top festivals, rocking Vegas night club residencies, or priming the stage for major tours with Kehlani, NOODLES reaches millions of fans, and hopes she inspires others to go against the grain. For the last decade, she built a brand that curates the cool — in music, fashion, and spirit. The audience always responds to this authentic and positive energy. NOODLES continues to raise the levels, setting an example for others like her while setting the soundtrack to the party.
