Katie Noonan Biography

 


Katie Noonan was born on 2 May 1977. Maggie Noonan, an opera singer, and Brian Noonan, a journalist and vocalist, met on the set of the performance TV show Showcase, where they both received audience and judging votes, respectively. They felt it essential to immerse their children in music early on. Her sibling Tyrone Noonan was similarly shaped by their childhood, and in 1996 the two of them created the band George to compete in a talent show. She also released an album under her name with the jazz trio Elixir, which she co-founded with her future husband Zac Hurren in 1998.

Katie hadn’t finished her opera and jazz studies at the Queensland Conservatorium yet, and George didn’t record his first album until 2002. Polyserena, the album in question, debuted at No. 1. In 2003, they returned to Byron Bay to record their follow-up album, entitled Unity. Katie and her mother Maggie also released a duets CD that year called Two of a Kind, which fused jazz and operatic styles.
