Quick note from the founder
Maria, founder of Noux Academy

Hi, I’m Maria.

I've been working in the music industry full-time since 2016 — music marketing, artist management, creative direction and services. I've helped build artist and label brands, worked across releases and touring cycles, and collaborated with everything from early-stage projects to Grammy-awarded acts.

I know how exhausting this industry can be when you're trying to navigate it without a map. That's why I created Noux Academy — a space built around clarity, sharing, and practical guidance for artists and the new generation of managers.

Behind Noux is our mighty team with 20+ years of combined experience in artist management. We bring strong A&R instincts to everything we do, and we approach every project — whatever the format — as if it's the only one on our desk.
