It all began with "Cool Doodles" on the corners of a college notebook—simple sketches that hinted at something much deeper brewing inside Noah Kraus. A Hamburg-based musician and visual artist, Noah first found his voice through illustration, eventually transitioning from paper to canvas. Skate culture soon became part of his artistic DNA, but it wasn’t long before music entered the frame —specifically Hip Hop and rap, genres that would later help shape his identity as a creator.

While music was always in the background, it was filmmaking and video editing that truly ignited something in him. As Noah puts it, filmmaking was the spark that gave him "the will to share stories with the world." He started behind the scenes, editing music videos for other artists in the German Hip Hop scene, learning and developing a distinct visual language.

But the story didn’t end behind the camera.

Parallel to editing others’ work, Noah was secretly working on his own music, quietly producing his debut single as a rapper. That track, "NUR1WORT " dropped just a month before we sat down with him for this interview. At the time, it had already racked up 8 million streams on Spotify—a staggering number for a debut. By the time we released the interview on YouTube, the song had crossed 20 million streams, establishing Noah’s presence in the music world.

And yet, despite the success, Noah’s heart still beats strongest for film. “I make music to make a videoclip,” he told us—an honest reflection of his deeper passion. For him, music isn’t just about sound—it's a vehicle for stories, visuals, and emotion.
