He later got to love jazz and soul music and then rock, for the simplicity of it. He is also greatly influenced by Afro-Highlife.[4]
Nosa’s aim with his music is 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, a high-life verse with a rock-y chorus or singing ‘Pidgin’ English with an R n B flavor while proclaiming an inspirational and uplifting message to his listeners.[4]
In May 2014, he partnered with Nokia for the release of his song “Love is Calling”.[5]On 16 May 2014, The Punch Newspaper reported that Nosa signed an endorsement deal with Unilever.[6]
