Biography

It has been six years since the Belgian-American artist Noah Sacré first released music under his solo moniker Speelburg, and now he brings his focus closer to home with the release of his debut album Porsche due Oct 2nd. The time in-between has seen him explore the intersections of his creativity amidst songwriting for a range of high profile and undisclosable talent. Straddling this binary makes for an interesting study on the validity of celebrity and stardom vs the art itself. “The whole intersection of pop art and pop music, I think, is populist; it’s accessible to all, but I don’t just wanna write pop bangers,” Sacré explains. “I wanna write weird stuff that I’d want to listen to.” Raised between Los Angeles, Brighton and the south of France, this nomadic, jet-setting aesthetic seems in keeping with an album named Porsche, but in truth, that sentiment lies a lot closer to home. “When I was a kid (six or seven) I apparently used to tell my parents ’oh mom when I’m big and famous I’m gonna drive you to (French supermarket) Super You in a Porsche. Which is like, that’s so weird, but because mom’s not around anymore I figured naming it ‘Porsche’ is the next best thing. I’m not gonna buy her a Porsche but I will make an album that [is] infused with my mom and my family in general.”
