Born and raised in Benin city, Edo State in Nigeria, Nosakhare Shadrack Omoregie started out singing in the children's choir in church and is majorly influenced by Gospel singers like Fred Hammond, he also credits his R&B influences to the legendary group, Boyz II men.

 

 

 

He later grew to love Jazz and Soul music but his primary musical influential roots however remain Gospel and Afro-Highlife. Nosa branded himself with the use of the Pidgin language in his music and he is making the pidgin language really "hip". Lyrically with his songs, Nosa aims to first and foremost, inspire and encourage the listener to an epiphany of God whereas musically, he ventures to create a bridge between music genres and develop a unique merger of sorts without losing the inspirational touch. He also intends to place Nigerian music in a different and unique light as he incorporates 'Pidgin' English and gives it an avenue to gain as much notoriety as Patois.


With some of his songs, he has creatively super-imposed a soul tune on a Highlife production, a Highlife verse with R&B flavored verses while maintain a refreshing and soothing slant. It’s just all a potpourri of musical goodness. A favorite among a lot of African music blogs, Nosa has been likened several times to John Legend in style, sound and feel while comparisons with Asa will surely not go amiss.

Nosa is an alumnus of the University of Benin where he studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Nosa is signed to Chocolate City as an artiste on the Record Label.
