Noah did not have a pleasant childhood at all. His parents were terrible addicts which only made the abuse towards him even worse. Being a second-generation immigrant also brought its fair share of challenges. He didn't have much going for him but just getting to see Ray at school every day was enough motivation to keep him going.

All his life, Noah has wanted to play the guitar and by the time he finally got to play one he was already in high school. But he picked it up quickly and it was obvious he was meant to play it. It only made sense that he and Ray start a band with their talents.
