The Courier Mail, Brisbane 24/7/2008 by Jane Chudleigh.
HOW do you follow up being in a band whose 2002 debut album Polyserena went to No.1 and double platinum and won an ARIA?
"You've got to be true to yourself," is the advice of Tyrone Noonan, who shot to the giddy heights of fame with Brisbane outfit george and has immersed himself in local projects since the band took an extended hiatus three years ago.
They are words he has followed very closely with his debut solo album I Believe, now waiting in the wings for international release.
"This (solo album) is the best reflection of just me. I guess as a person and a songwriter and the kind of music that I really like."
His individual flavour as a solo artist blends rock with swirls of pop, soul, funk and reggae.

Scene Magazine, Brisbane 23/7/2008 Tyrone Noonan, brother of George singer Katie, is farewelling his home town with a gig this Sunday. With the success of george one would have assumed that Tyrone Noonan had a ticket anywhere afterwards - but he decided to make his way as an independent artist.
"I guess that's where george started and that seemed like a natural progressIon. so It's kind of like a new beginning. Obviously It's with a bit more experience." The first EP was partly a learning experience for this singer/songwriter. "'Heavy Soul Part 1 was me kind of searching for my sound In a way, because when you're in a band for so long It kind of ends up influencing your songs and writing process Without you even realising It. SO the record was an attempt at breaking away from that and just rediscovering my own song writing roots in terms of what I really wanted to do and sound like. I think this record (I Believe) is a consolidation of that."

Beat Magazine Melbourne, October 2007
Dubbed "The Sexiest Man Alive" by one gushing Myspace fan, Tyrone Noonan certainly stands out in a crowd. With a vast crop of golden curls, the co-singer and multi-instrumentalist from gender-bending pop outfit george has always looked like a star - and he's definitely on the rise. 2006 saw Ty release a slick and' sophisticated solo EP and follow it up with a national tour over Christmas. April 2007 saw Tyrone representing Queensland at the prestigious A&R Worldwide Musexpo in Los Angeles and 2008 heralds a brand new album from this very prolific young man. Beat spoke with Tyrone about his new lease on life.
Why did george go on hiatus?
"It was a culmination of things, but one of the major factors was the introduction of more babies into the george camp!" |

The Courier-Mail, Brisbane, October 2007 FORMER George keys man and songwriter Ty Noonan has kept a low profile this year while working on a solo set which he completed in the US. He spent five weeks in Minneapolis with co-producer Paul Petersen, a protege of Prince in The Time. The album was mixed by Steve Hodge, who was an engineer for Minneapolis hit-machine-team Jam and Lewis. Then he went to Nashville where he ended up writing a new tune, Because Of You, that has been added to the album. The song was co-written with Chas Sandford, who has written mega-sellers including John Waite's Missing You and Stevie Nicks's Talk To Me.
"It was one of those freakish connections," Noonan says. "My uncle is a university professor in Nashville, I mentioned Chas's name and he said, 'Oh, another professor here plays with him in a jam band'." You never know your luck in a songwriting town. |
