In 2020, he signed with Made in Baltics (Sony Music Entertainment) to release his second EP Distance just a week after the 2020 COVID Pandemic hit and closed public spaces in Latvia. The title track "Distance" is "how social media allows us to follow each other without actually communicating. It is kind of sad, but common, especially in the process of moving on and being in a perpetual battle with yourself".{{cite web | title=In Conversation With #111 | website=When The Horn Blows | date=November 12, 2020 | url=https://whenthehornblows.com/content/2020/11/12/in-conversation-with-111-chris-noah | access-date=September 4, 2024 | archive-date=17 November 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201117225551/https://whenthehornblows.com/content/2020/11/12/in-conversation-with-111-chris-noah | url-status=live }} The pandemic forced the cancellation of his 2020 concerts, so he released a deluxe version of Distance which included new tracks written in the meantime.{{cite web | title=Uz balvu Zelta Mikrofons kategorijā Popmūzikas albums pretendē Dons, Aija Andrejeva, Chris Noah, MARTA un grupa Triānas Parks | website=Zelta Mikrofons | date=March 3, 2021 | url=https://www.zeltamikrofons.lv/zelta-mikrofons/uz-balvu-zelta-mikrofons-kategorija-popmuzikas-albums-pretende-dons-aija-andrejeva-chris-noah-marta-un-grupa-trianas-parks/ | language=lv | access-date=September 4, 2024 | archive-date=22 April 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240422181854/https://www.zeltamikrofons.lv/zelta-mikrofons/uz-balvu-zelta-mikrofons-kategorija-popmuzikas-albums-pretende-dons-aija-andrejeva-chris-noah-marta-un-grupa-trianas-parks/ | url-status=live }} The single "This Is The Night" from the deluxe version reached the top of radio Star FM and Estonian Raadio 2 and lead to two performances at the 2020 Tallinn Music Week.{{cite web | title=Eight Latvian musicians to perform at Tallinn Music Week | website=Eng.lsm.lv | date=July 13, 2020 | url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/culture/music/eight-latvian-musicians-to-perform-at-tallinn-music-week.a367002/ | access-date=September 4, 2024 | archive-date=30 May 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240530223507/https://eng.lsm.lv/article/culture/music/eight-latvian-musicians-to-perform-at-tallinn-music-week.a367002/ | url-status=live }} The album Distance was nominated for Best Pop Music Album at the 2021 Latvian Music Recording Awards.
In 2022 Noah signed with Sony Entertainment Finland to release his next EP Red Light.{{cite web| title=Dziedātājs Kriss Noa izdod mini albumu "Red light" | website=tv3.lv | date=November 4, 2022 | url=https://izklaide.tv3.lv/muzika/dziedatajs-kriss-noa-izdod-mini-albumu-red-light/ | language=lv | access-date=September 4, 2024 | archive-date=4 November 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221104102413/https://izklaide.tv3.lv/muzika/dziedatajs-kriss-noa-izdod-mini-albumu-red-light/ | url-status=live }} He said his writing process for the album came from realizing "for the first time that 'not feeling love' isn't just a made-up concept or an excuse to get out of a relationship you no longer want to be in. This realization was the core of my writing process, which I approached from various angles: uncertainty, doubt, jealousy, and regret. The title track 'Red Light' is about the disappearance of illusions". The album was nominated for Best Pop Album and the single "Sunboy" for Best Song at the 2023 Latvian Music Recording Awards.{{cite web | title=Paziņoti visi "Zelta mikrofona’23" nominanti | website=tv3.lv | date=12 January 2023 | url=https://www.tv3.lv/zeltamikrofons/izzinoti-visi-zelta-mikrofons23-nominanti/ | language=lv | access-date=4 September 2024 | archive-date=28 February 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230228152023/https://www.tv3.lv/zeltamikrofons/izzinoti-visi-zelta-mikrofons23-nominanti/ | url-status=live }}
In 2023, he co-wrote "Stay", which was performed by Lithuanian singer Monika Linkytė at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, finishing in 11th place.{{cite web | title=Latviešu mūziķu Chris Noah un JJ Lush radīta dziesma uzvarējusi Lietuvas "Eirovīzijas" atlasē | website=tv3.lv | date=19 February 2023 | url=https://www.tv3.lv/izklaide/muzika/latviesu-muziku-chris-noah-un-jj-lush-radita-dziesma-uzvarejusi-lietuvas-eirovizijas-atlase/ | language=lv | access-date=4 September 2024}} He also announced his first sold-out solo concert, after having played numerous music festivals in his career. He released his first single "Cik tālu vēl?" ({{literal translation|How far yet?}}) in his native Latvian language.{{cite web | author=Publicitātes foto | title=Chris Noah beidzot iedziedas latviski | website=nra.lv | url=https://nra.lv/izklaide/429443-chris-noah-beidzot-iedziedas-latviski.htm | language=lv | access-date=4 September 2024 | archive-date=5 September 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240905000327/https://nra.lv/izklaide/429443-chris-noah-beidzot-iedziedas-latviski.htm | url-status=live }} Noah stated that "The song didn't come together as smoothly as I hoped—it was a challenge. I thought writing lyrics in Latvian would be easier". He wanted to convey something personal and real while avoiding clichés, adding he would continue to write more songs in Latvian. "Cik tālu vēl?" ({{literal translation|How far yet?}}) was nominated for Top Radio Hit at the 2024 Latvian Music Recording Awards.{{cite web | title=Noskaidroti 'Zelta mikrofona '24' nominanti; līderi – Fiņķis un Patrisha | website=DELFI | date=January 22, 2024 | url=https://www.delfi.lv/kultura/174/music/56272536/noskaidroti-zelta-mikrofona-24-nominanti-lideri-finkis-un-patrisha | language=lv | access-date=September 4, 2024 | archive-date=5 April 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240405143134/https://www.delfi.lv/kultura/174/music/56272536/noskaidroti-zelta-mikrofona-24-nominanti-lideri-finkis-un-patrisha | url-status=live }}

In October 2024, Noah released his first full length album Atvadas nav skumjas, ja zinām, ka drīz tiksimies ({{literal translation|Goodbye is not sad if we know we'll meet soon}}). The album is mostly in Latvian, but has one English song.{{cite web | title=Klajā nācis Chris Noah jaunākais singls un albums | website=Diena / Diena | date=14 October 2024 | url=https://www.diena.lv/raksts/kd/muzika/klaja-nacis-chris-noah-jaunakais-singls-un-albums-14325292 | language=lv | access-date=16 October 2024}} He describes the album as "This full-length album definitely starts a new phase in my music. I tried to feel and connect two worlds - musically, I drew parallels with pop music from the last century, while I constructed the texts on topics that are relevant to me right now. Each song is a very real story about real people and feelings". He also released "Kādreiz" ({{literal translation|Once up a time}}) as the first single.
At the 2025 Latvian Music Recording Awards (Zelta Mikrofons), he won five awards from six nominations, including the album Atvadas nav skumjas, ja zinām, ka drīz tiksimies ({{literal translation|Goodbye is not sad if we know we'll meet soon}}) winning Album of the Year and Best Pop/Pop Rock Album; his single "Nomodā" ({{literal translation|Awake}}) winning Song of the Year and Radio Hit, and winning Producer of the Year (along with Kristofer Harris), while "Kādreiz" ({{literal translation|Once up a time}}) was nominated for Best Music Video. "Nomodā" ({{literal translation|Awake}}) finished third at the 2024 Muzikālā banka ({{literal translation|Musical Bank}}) awards. In 2024, the Latvian Music Producers Association announced the creation of the 2024 GAMMA awards, which celebrates "all aspects of the Latvian music industry". Noah was nominated for Male Solo Artist of the Year and Pop Artist of the year; his songs "Nomodā" ({{literal translation|Awake}}) and "Desmitiem Reižu" ({{literal translation|Dozens of Times}}) were both nominated for Hits of the Year and Radio Hit of the Year; and his concert at Palladium Riga was nominated for Musical Event of the Year and Live Performance/Concert of the Year.

Musical style
Noah began his career releasing extended plays over several years, stating that a debut album only happens once and he has waited until he developed a musical style that suits his ambitions, saying, "an artist needs a certain fan base to listen to it, just like a band or an artist needs to be confident in their sound and genre frameworks".
Noah was inspired by the musical tastes of his father, Valdis Indrišonoks, who is a professional musician; these influences include U2, Eric Clapton, and the Beatles.{{cite web | last=Leitholde | first=Aiga | title=Mūziķis Chris Noah: Klātbūtne nav nepieciešama, lai sekotu līdzi notiekošajam | website=LSM.lv | date=24 March 2020 | url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/kultura/muzika/muzikis-chris-noah-klatbutne-nav-nepieciesama-lai-sekotu-lidzi-notiekosajam.a353044/ | language=lv | access-date=4 September 2024 | archive-date=5 September 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240905001954/https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/kultura/muzika/muzikis-chris-noah-klatbutne-nav-nepieciesama-lai-sekotu-lidzi-notiekosajam.a353044/ | url-status=live }} When talking about the difference between song writing in English and Latvian, he said these influences play a role in how he create melodies, phrase them and put them together, with English being more sonorous. He writes and records his music at a studio outside of Riga, Latvia that his father purchased when Noah was a child.{{cite web | last=Vīksne | first=Gita | title=FOTO: Ciemos pie mūziķa Krisa Noa Pierīgā: Var šķist, ka esmu no turīgas ģimenes, bet… | website=Santa | date=30 November 2024 | url=https://www.santa.lv/raksts/personibas/foto-ciemos-pie-muzika-krisa-noa-pieriga-var-skist-ka-esmu-no-turigas-gimenes-bet-69903/ | language=lv | access-date=30 November 2024}} He emphasizes having his father's studio space provides him an environment where he can express himself: "I often work alone here. It is a misconception that an artist has to work only when the muse has arrived. In fact, it's a real job, because you have to be able to generate ideas every day even when you don't want to. In my opinion, the muse can best be captured if you regularly work at the computer or play music."
Growing up in a musical household, he also gained a lot of experiences about the writing process and being able to surround himself with experienced musicians early in his career, which music critics notice about his live performances. Sandris Vanzovičs, the music reviewer for Neatkarīgā Rīta Avīze notes that Noah's experienced backing musicians creates a sound that makes Chris Noah seem like a musician straight out of the Western music scene; he has gained popularity outside of Latvia with his English language songs, especially in Estonia, however music critic Uldis Rudak said he has never cared for his music until he begin to sing in Latvian with his first single "Cik tālu vēl?" ({{literal translation|How far yet?}}).{{cite web | author=LSM.lv Kultūras redakcija | title=Vai spēks ir jaunībā? «Muzikālās bankas» fināla dziesmas vērtē Kristaps Krievkalns, Ieva Rozentāle un Uldis Rudaks | website=LSM.lv | date=7 January 2024 | url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/kultura/izklaide/07.01.2024-vai-speks-ir-jauniba-muzikalas-bankas-finala-dziesmas-verte-kristaps-krievkalns-ieva-rozentale-un-uldis-rudaks.a537842/ | language=lv | access-date=4 September 2024 | archive-date=23 January 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240123164831/https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/kultura/izklaide/07.01.2024-vai-speks-ir-jauniba-muzikalas-bankas-finala-dziesmas-verte-kristaps-krievkalns-ieva-rozentale-un-uldis-rudaks.a537842/ | url-status=live }}
