Micah was born in San Francisco and raised in the East Bay’s Hayward, CA. From a large Filipino American family, she recalls the pressures that many Asian American kids face: a family that demanded success. Venturing into the local scene, she was captivated. “As I was discovering clubs, I was so fascinated with how DJs controlled the vibe of the entire room. That’s when I realized, ‘Since my Pops DJs, I should ask him to teach me properly how to do it.’” Micah’s father, a former resident mixer, gladly taught his teenage daughter to mix, scratch, and beat-count. She saved up and applied these analog techniques to emerging digital technology.
Branding herself NOODLES, Micah gained on-the-spot experience by playing clubs and events around the Bay and other California cities. Micah’s intersection of interests is apparent in her authentic online brand. Her carefully curated social media, her viral Soundcloud mixes, and classic DJ edits. As a solo act, she’s played festivals, including Bumbershoot, Fvded In The Park, Camp Flog Gnaw, Sol Blume, Wireless, Soulection Experience, Something In The Water, DirtyBird Campout, Okeechobee festival, and many more. NOODLES has also completed a headlining tour called “SAYONARA” which consisted of 16 shows across the United States, selling hard tickets, merch, and meet & greet passes. In October 2021 Skrillex asked NOODLES to open up for his rare headline show at the Avant Gardner music venue in Brooklyn, New York. From there she has been getting acknowledged by many big electronic acts. Her stylish and versatile range in music stemming from Hip-Hop, R&B, and electronic sets have also led to residencies at 1OAK and Jewel Nightclub on the Las Vegas strip. It’s an expanding career that never stops evolving.
NOODLES has partnered, collaborated, and shot global campaigns with dozens of fashion, lifestyle, technology, and sportswear brands including: NIKE, Vans, Puma, Adidas, Fenty, Ray-Bay, Moose Knuckles, Logitech, Aiaiai, Pioneer DJ, Serato, Guitar Center, Meta, Hennessy, and many more!
Whether performing top festivals, rocking Vegas night club residencies, or priming the stage for major world tours with Kehlani, NOODLES reaches millions of fans, and hopes she inspires others to go against the grain. For the last decade, she built a brand that curates the cool—in music, fashion, and spirit. The audience always responds to this authentic and positive energy. NOODLES continues to raise the levels, setting an example for others like her while setting the soundtrack to the party.
