This is a different kind of sharing. It’s about my elder son, Noah-Nilay @noahnilaymusic (Instagram profile). I’m incredibly excited and proud to announce that he’s recently released his debut EP. Permanently Unclosed features four guitar compositions, layered with bongo drums and bass, all of which Noah-Nilay composed, played and recorded himself. I’d love for you to give it a listen. It is available on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.

As parents, we naturally believe our children are talented – and we should, because our love and support are vital to their growth. But in Noah-Nilay’s case, the recognition goes beyond just family pride. His teachers, peers and anyone who has heard his music agree with me. From his music school to every stage he’s performed on, the praise has been consistent. Even in his early years, he won several competitions, including the prestigious Steinway Music Competition, where he was awarded the People’s Choice for his classical piano performance.
Noah-Nilay is a versatile musician, effortlessly playing the piano, violin, cello, flute, drums, bongos and guitar, with guitar being his main instrument of choice. He’s always exploring, always learning. In fact, he’s currently enrolled in MGK (Musikalsk Grundkursus), an intensive 3-year musical education program in Denmark. This program not only prepares students for conservatory entrance exams but also aims to develop musicians who can enrich the local music scene. Only a handful are selected to MGK each year and Noah-Nilay is one of them.
At just 16, Noah-Nilay’s journey as a musician has only just begun, yet his talent is timeless. He was only 6 when he started learning and playing piano at a relatively higher level and it feels like music has been a part of him from the very beginning. To me, he is more than just a talented musician – he is a beautiful soul who was born with music as his companion. I am truly blessed to call him my son.
In truth, I don’t need to write a single word because his music speaks for itself. While I can’t add a track directly here (unavailable in IG’s music library), you can hear a sample in my ‘Sons’ Highlights. I sincerely hope you take a moment to listen to Permanently Unclosed by Noah-Nilay, available on all major music streaming platforms.
