In this episode of ‘The Bounce Back’ podcast, host B-Luke sits down with Anthony Carfagno, better known as 44 Noise. Anthony, who grew up in Cambridge, MA, shares his story of adversity, starting with his father leaving when he was around 9 or 10. He recalls getting into trouble at school as early as the 5th grade, leading to him attending several different schools. By 6th grade, Anthony found a creative outlet in music, inspired by his stepfather and sister. However, he struggled with school attendance and eventually dropped out after repeating the same grade for three years.
Music became a positive force in Anthony’s life, keeping him from falling deeper into street life. He started performing live at 19-20, with his first show hosted at Out of the Blue Art Gallery in Cambridge. Initially performing under the name White Noise, trademark issues forced him to rebrand as 44 Noise, leading to the removal of much of his early work from online platforms.
Anthony has since released a series of projects under his new name, including his “John Wick” series. Recently, he ventured into marketing, founding a company called “What To Do,” which later transformed into United Pro Marketing. Throughout the interview, Anthony stresses the value of teamwork, learning from setbacks, and staying positive through challenges.
