Colin Hay's wife, Cecilia Noel, is a singer and songwriter. She is also a member of the band The Wild Clams.

She was born in Peru but moved to New York as a teenager for her music career. When she was eight years old, she acted in the Peruvian television series El Tio Jhonny. She took piano, vocal, and violin lessons when she was a teenager. 

Early in her career, she was mentored by artists such as Stan Getz and Carlo Brescia, but her mentorship with San Miguel led to collaborations as songwriters and recording artists. Her music has the influences of salsa, jazz, soul, funk, and Afro-Cuban.

Noel's hit songs, I Touch Myself and Whip It helped her win a Cubadisco International Award in 2015. Cecilia was married to a drummer named Tris Imboden for four years, but they got divorced in 1996. 

She is active on several social media platforms, including Instagram, where she has 3,421 followers under the profile @wildclam.
