NOHMI

Miran Noh (NOHMI) is a Rotterdam-based jazz pianist and composer whose music bridges classical Impressionism and contemporary jazz. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Music from Korea and a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Piano from Rotterdam, and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Jazz Piano in Amsterdam. Inspired by Ravel, Debussy, Shai Maestro, and Immanuel Wilkins, Miran creates imaginative, emotional soundscapes that move fluidly between eras and sonic worlds. Influenced by her Korean cultural roots and the colors of Impressionist music, she has developed a deeply personal compositional voice. As leader of the sextet NOHMI, she has presented her work at major festivals including North Sea Jazz, Cairo Jazz Festival, and Avignon Jazz Festival. On stage, NOHMI creates a mysterious, atmospheric energy, using layered textures that blur the boundary between dream and reality. She has been recognized with the Amsterdam Grachten Jazz Competition, Erasmus Jazz Prize, and in 2025 received The Records Award from the Keep an Eye Foundation. NOHMI's second album, Brightness & Darkness, explores themes of social displacement and personal emotional journeys, painting darkly shimmering dreamscapes inspired by the Impressionist era.
