Nosa's source of joy as a growing child was in music and attending church, where he began exploring his developing talents. He is majorly influenced by gospel singers like
Fred Hammond and
Kim Burrell and the noted
R&B group
Boyz II Men. He later grew to love the sound of jazz and soul music and the simplicity of rock. He is also greatly influenced by Afro-Highlife, Nosa has described his musical aim as wanting 'to create a bridge between music
genres while making sure the gospel aspect of it is on a fore-front platform just as the other genres', i.e. a unique merger of sorts: creatively superimposing a soul tune on a high-life beat, writing a high-life verse with a rock-inspired chorus, or singing
Nigerian Pidgin English with an R&B flavor, all while endeavouring to give an inspirational and uplifting message to his listeners. On 11 November 2009, Nosa released his debut single "Always Pray for You", under the
Chocolate City label His debut studio album,
Open Doors, was released on 14 March 2014 and supported by the singles "Always Pray for You", "Why You Love Me" and "Always on My Mind". In May 2014, he partnered with
Nokia for the release of his song "Love is Calling". On 16 May 2014,
The Punch newspaper reported that Nosa signed an
endorsement deal with
Unilever. On 26 February 2020, which coincided with his birthday, Nosa founded his record label, Salt Music. ==Discography==
