Born on the 29th of May 1967 and raised in Manchester, England Noel started messing about with his Dad's guitar when he was 6 years old. He started playing seriously when he was 14, being inspired by Johnny Marr. He went to school and worked a few different jobs but in the end they were not for him. One job was working in a mechanics shop. There, noel wrote four songs,including supersonic, that would eventually be on definitely maybe. But before Oasis, Noel was a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets who gave him his first taste of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. Noel's next big step in music was checking out his little brother's band called The Rain . He joined the band under the guideline that he writes all the songs. The band agreed and the outline of Oasis was formed. Their first gig took place in October of '91. Shortly after that they were spotted by a music company representative at a gig and were quickly signed.

Several tracks of from the first Oasis album Definitely Maybe were actually written during lunch breaks.

Noel Gallagher is the main songwriter of Oasis, and the back bone of the group. He's also the realible one. Although he has been labelled as "the best songwriter of the 90's, if not all time" Noel still feels worried about his song writing abilities. Noel once stated, "I'm not John Lennon. I'm not trying to say anything. I'm just trying to entertain people." Noel also says he has a problem with lyrics. In a recent interview, Noel said, "In an ideal world I wouldn't write them, I can't stand it. It's the one thing that pisses me off. Yet people continue to try and 'understand' my words that often don't really mean anything at all. It's just words that sound good." Though Liam is the main frontman of the band, Noel does occasionally sing lead vocals. Noel claims to write about 20 songs a week. He composes them at night, and "if I remember them the next day, then they must be good."
