He Went Viral on American Idol for 1-Word Response to Katy Perry. 7 Years Later, He Is in a ‘Very Different' Place (Exclusive)
Noah Davis went viral seven years ago for saying 'wig' to Katy Perry on American Idol After the show, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career Now, Davis is working on an album and living an authentic lifeNoah Davis didn't know that a simple word would change his life. During season 16 of American Idol, Davis, 25, immediately caught the attention of judge Katy Perry after blurting out a popular pop-culture phrase before his audition — "Wig." Perry responded, "Wig? Did you just say wig?" When Davis nodded in confirmation, Perry chimed in, "I know, wig. I feel that already," much to the confusion of other judges Lionel Ritchie and Luke Bryan. With one word, a viral moment was born. "I don't remember saying that because those days are so long. It takes forever, and you're so tired," Davis tells PEOPLE. "I came out of the audition, and all I knew was I made it through. I saw the video for the first time before it aired, and I thought, 'Oh, my God, that's so funny.' " Davis made it through to Hollywood but was eliminated from the competition after they whittled it down from 50 to 24 contestants. "I'm very different. I don't think I was a fully-realized Noah Davis. I was 18 and had just come from nowhere in Arkansas. I had never done anything like that, and I hadn't realized my full potential," Davis shares. "I was shy back then, and I've come out since then," he adds. "It's hard to believe I wasn't out of the closet when I said 'wig' to Katy Perry, but I wasn't." After American Idol, Davis packed everything into his car and moved to Los Angeles with "no money" and "not a lot of friends." There, he began making music and sharing his journey on TikTok, where he amassed a following. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Davis released his album F–k Flowers in 2021 and his EP, The A Side, in 2023. As a "young gay person" who is "plus size" and "femme presenting," representation is extremely important to Davis, so he took matters into his own hands and began making music he didn't see on the market. "I want to feel sexy and hot, and I should have music that makes me feel good about myself. So I made it," Davis says. "Then other people were coming to me saying, 'I've been waiting for music that is sexy and queer.' And I thought, 'I didn't realize that that was so important.' " His newest album, set to come out this summer, is more of a breakup album. Davis tapped into a different side of himself to share his experiences going through heartbreak. "We are real people. We go through real heartbreak, we experience real love and real loss," Davis says. "This album is about heartbreak, loss and moving on. I knew I wanted to say something more real and vulnerable, which was a bit challenging for me, because I don't want to let people know how I'm really feeling." Fans of Davis can expect him to take things to "new levels" on his upcoming album. "I'm doing what feels right at the moment. These past two years working on this project, I've been honing in on being an artist," he says. "I'm doing this for real, I want people to expect the next level up, because that's what I'm doing." He cites R&B artists like Kehlani, Lucky Daye, Victoria Monet, Usher, and Amelia Moore as his musical inspirations. In terms of Perry, Davis shares that "she's going to be an icon forever," and would love to recreate the viral moment with her. Read the original article on People

London Spring Art 2025: Noah Davis And Arpita Singh On Social Change
Noah Davis, 1975 (8), 2013 ©The Estate of Noah Davis Courtesy This spring, London pulses with two powerful exhibitions that demonstrate painting's ability to challenge, provoke and inspire change. At the Barbican Gallery, the late American artist, Noah Davis's first UK retrospective blends lush figuration with a fierce commitment to representation and community. Meanwhile at Serpentine North, Indian artist Arpita Singh's long‑overdue UK solo show maps six decades of work, from folkloric dreamscapes to searing explorations of gender, violence and memory. Both artists insist that painting can shine the light on difficult truths, sparking conversations that resonate far beyond gallery walls. Noah Davis at work, Los Angeles, 2009 Noah Davis's premature death in 2015, at just 32, deprived the world of a singular talent whose work combined technical mastery with a profound empathy for everyday life. Now, a decade on, the Barbican is staging the UK's first institutional retrospective of the Los Angeles artist, bringing together over fifty paintings, sculptures and works on paper. Davis's richly layered figurative scenes—informed by found photographs, film, literature and art history—capture moments of quiet wonder, joy and melancholy. Shanay Jhaveri, the Barbican's head of visual arts, describes the show as both 'a celebration of Davis's legacy and a catalyst for dialogue around representation, identity and community.' Noah Davis, Pueblo del Rio: Arabesque, 2014 ©The Estate of Noah Davis Central to Davis's work was his passionate belief that as an artist his role was to reflect and uplift the people around him. In 2012 he and his wife, artist Karon Davis, founded the Underground Museum: four former storefronts repurposed into a free cultural centre in Arlington Heights, replete with a purple-flowered garden tribute to Prince. There he staged residencies and exhibitions, forging a groundbreaking three‑year partnership with MOCA Los Angeles to broaden access to its collection. All of which was motivated by the desire to, as he said, 'change the way people view art, the way they buy art, the way they make art'.

There is a lot to see and so much to admire, yet among the exhibition's highlights are 1975(8) (2013), Pueblo del Rio: Arabesque (2014) and The Missing Link 4 (2013). Jhaveri calls Davis one of the most original painters of our time. 'Davis's distinctive vision captures the nuances of life with poignancy and depth,' he says, 'bridging personal and collective narratives in ways that profoundly connect with our times.' Noah Davis is at the Barbican Art Gallery until May 11, 2025. Searching Sita Through Torn Papers, Paper Strips and Labels (2015) by Arpita Singh at Remembering, Serpentine North, London 'What is a dreamlike, imaginative world to you is a real world for me,' wrote Arpita Singh. One of India's leading contemporary artists, Singh (born 1937 in Baranagar) is renowned for her bold, figurative paintings—a distinct visual language rich in color, iconographic depth, and deep narrative. Hers is a practice of bold experimentation—an ever-evolving artist who explores color and mark-making, using figuration to navigate emotional responses to social upheaval and global crises. Remembering at Serpentine North gallery marks Singh's first solo exhibition outside India. Curated by Tamsin Hong and featuring 165 works, it explores the full breadth of her practice, from large-scale oil paintings to more intimate watercolors and ink drawings.

Vadehra Art Gallery ©Arpita Singh The project largely came to life thanks to Hans Ulrich Obrist, Serpentine's artistic director, who spotted and fell in love with one of her paintings in last year's The Imaginary Institution of India: Art 1975–1998 at the Barbican in London. He says, 'Through a practice that blends Bengali folk art with modernist explorations of identity, Singh vividly portrays scenes of life and imagination, stories, and symbols, uniting the personal and the universal.' Artist Arpita Singh Singh's early work weaves mythology and folklore, incorporating recurring symbols (flowers, turtles, cars, mangoes...) and often featuring borders, sometimes floral, in the style of Indian miniatures. To my mind, her earlier canvases evoke the work of Marc Chagall, the Russian-born French artist who also blurred the boundaries between dreams and reality, layering rich color and poetic imagery to create magical worlds where folklore, faith, fantasy all intertwine, and where his luminous canvases depict poignant emotions of loss and exile.

Courtesy of Museum of Art & Photography, Bengaluru, India Over the last two decades, Singh's work has become increasingly political, addressing hard-hitting themes of gender, motherhood, violence and vulnerability as she engages with the psychological impact of local, national and global events on women. The Serpentine show concludes with what I feel are her most powerful works: My Lollipop City: Gemini Rising (2005), My Lily Pond (2009), and Searching Sita Through Torn Papers, Paper Strips and Labels (2015). These large-scale paintings best reflect Singh's unforgettable visual language—layered, text-rich, and deeply narrative. Says Singh of the exhibition: 'Remembering draws from old memories from which these works emerged. Whether I am aware or not, there is something happening at my core. It is how my life flows.' Remembering is at Serpentine North until July 27, 2025. Read my 2024 year in art, and see why the 24th Triennale Milano has chosen the theme 'Inequalities' to direct this edition's vision.
