Step to it with DJ Noofi from Finland

DJ Noofi
meet a 10 year old music lover from Finland
Artist Bio
DJ Noofi (Nooa Meriranta) is a 10 year old music lover from Finland. He started to make his own electronic musical experiments with synths and iPad at the age of 7. His father Heikki has a background in music and there was gear to play with and get started early.
“In the summer of 2021, the tracks started to sound so great that we decided to start releasing his music under the Artist name DJ Noofi. The name comes from ‘Nooa’ and ‘Finland’! Heikki formed a virtual production team and label called Seashore Beats and started to learn mixing and mastering EDM tracks and ways to get the music out there.”
“Now it has been over a year as a releasing artist and there are a total of 21 original singles, an official remix with Anna Awe (US), and some unofficial remixes out there. There are 90k streams in Spotify and over 70k in YouTube + TikTok so far. Some of the tracks have been released on our label Seashore Beats and the rest on labels like Top Phonic Records (Portugal), Phat Panda Records (US), AJME Records (Romania), High Five Music (France). A big moment for us was that Dj Noofi’s Deep House vibed single ‘Break Away’ got featured on Spotify’s editorial playlist Beats Of Tomorrow and Suomi-EDM (Finnish EDM).”

What is the inspiration behind your music?
“I love to listen to all EDM music and at the moment Future House and Progeressive House tracks are on the top of my list. Some of my favorite artists are Brooks, Martin Garrix, Dirty Palm, and Tobu. I also like some noisy dubstep like Zomboy.”
Do you have any favorite instruments in your collection?
