Vocal group „Noorkuu” was founded in December
1996 and started off as a trio named „Rumal Noorkuu”.
With in the first few months, they already made a
phenomenal success on the music scene of Estonia. By
the end of the first year they had won several Grand Prix`s
in different well-thought-of  contests and were aired frequently
on local television and radio. The next remarkable accomplishment f
or the trio was to reach the fifth place in Estonian preliminary round
of Eurovision Song Contest. Under the name of „Rumal Noorkuu” 
they released two albums.

In 1999 the band line-up changed – the trio became a quintet and since then they have been  „Noorkuu”. It was not just a change in members and the name – it gave them a potential to gain the level of well-known professional a cappella groups worldwide. They took this challenge and by now have given concerts in  U.S.A, Germany, Finland, Iceland and Spain.
Since spring 2000, „Noorkuu“ annualy organises a vocal contest called „Estvocal”. The initial idea of the event was to improve the level of vocal music in Estonia. In 2003 the contest became international.
The year 2005 was very succesful for the band – they won the TV-online competition „Estonian Music Cup” where people had a chance to choose their favorites among Estonian most popular bands. As a result, the honorable title „The Best Band in Estonia” was given to „Noorkuu“. The most recent accomplishment has been releasing a new album „Vocapella” in October 2005. Over the years „Noorkuu“ has  released four albums. It is also remarkable that in all its existance „Noorkuu“ has not been signed to any major record label. They have established their own label.
