Hot and Rising artist: Noush Skaugen

Noush Skaugen is the only non-label musician to make Beatweek’s 2010 Hot and Rising list; she’s also the only artist on the list with more than a million followers on Twitter. Neither of those facts were factors in her inclusion, but rather the straightforward fact that she’s one of the most promising emerging rockers on our radar. In our interview with Noush we talk about her new full length album which she’s still working on (she’s releasing an EP called Soho Sessions next week in the mean time), how she’s managed to leverage social media in the kind of successful manner which few other musicians have, and how her citizen of the world upbringing has impacted her as an artist. You can read the full interview in our Hot and Rising issue.
