Noah David St. John, professionally known as Coldsaint, is a 25-year-old American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Norwalk, Iowa. Once an outcast battling abuse, homelessness, and the weight of mental health struggles, Coldsaint transformed his pain into power through music. What began as survival has become his mission to inspire others to rise against the odds through the raw energy of hip-hop.

​

Coldsaint started writing at age 10, becoming “Coldsaint” at 12 as a way to cope with his mother’s cancer and the abuse he faced at home from his step-father. At 15, after being kicked out by his stepfather, he spent a few months being homeless before moving in with his father in Indianola. Instead of trying to fit in, he poured everything into music, and by 2017 he began pursuing his career professionally. He graduated from Indianola High School in 2018.

​

Since then, Coldsaint has built his career independently taking full control of his path and brand. He has toured internationally, including multiple trips to Thailand as part of the International Folklore Festival, and he continues to grow his presence across the U.S. and abroad. His relentless drive and stage presence have earned him recognition, including multiple Music Awards, cementing his reputation as one of Iowa’s leading hip-hop voices. His catalog has reached hundreds of thousands of streams worldwide, fueled by his ability to blend hard-hitting truth with energetic performance.

From talent shows in Norwalk to stages across the globe, Coldsaint has come a long way from the kid who felt voiceless. With every song, he proves that no matter where you start, you can fight through adversity and rise stronger.
