He is currently working as a solo act, but has been the lead vocalist for the bands Beneath Oceans and The Courage (formerly known as Noah Gundersen & the Courage).

Early career and Brand New World (2005-2008)
Gundersen began playing music when he was 10 or 11 years old when his parents had him take piano lessons. In 2002, he inherited his first guitar, an electric Epiphone, from his father and taught himself to play the guitar and recorded songs with his father's recording equipment. Three years later, his birthday gift was an acoustic guitar with which he still performs with today. Around the age of 16, Gundersen was performing solo in local cafes. His sister Abby began to accompany him with violin and harmonies in 2006. Gundersen began playing shows throughout the Washington/Oregon region with a backing band named The Courage.
His first band was a post-hardcore group called Beneath Oceans. The band was formed in 2007 and, while they were active, played shows throughout the West Coast and recorded an unreleased EP. At the end of 2008, with the departure of Keelan O'Hara, Gundersen announced that the band was done.
His first solo release, Brand New World (recorded by himself, Abby Gundersen and Michael Porter), was recorded in Eugene, Oregon in a home studio. It began to be sold on the internet in 2008.
