noxz

A Nigerian-born multi-hyphenate living in the heart of London’s vibrant creative scene, noxz has seamlessly blended his design acumen with his musical prowess. Trained as an architect, his journey began in childhood, with early explorations in music that saw him playing multiple instruments as a kid. This musical foundation paralleled his architectural pursuits, leading him to prestigious roles, including a tenure at Zaha Hadid Architects. However, the global pause during the lockdowns became a catalyst for noxz to share his musical creations online, rapidly building a global community of 800,000+ people across all platforms.

In the past two years, noxz stepped out of his comfort zone, leaving architecture to fully pursue music and releasing a series of beat tapes. Sharing these moments online sparked global attention, generating more than 10 million cumulative streams. That momentum opened the door to collaborations with some of the biggest names in the game.

noxz’s creative process is deeply influenced by his surroundings. He believes that environment and emotion are integral to his art. In both his architectural designs and musical compositions, noxz strives to evoke powerful emotional responses, creating spaces and sounds that linger in the minds and hearts of his audience. This philosophy is evident in his collaborative works, such as the sultry R&B track “When You’re Around” with South African singer Lusanda, which originated from a spontaneous TikTok interaction.

Beyond original productions, noxz has gained acclaim for his inventive mashups, which have collectively amassed millions of streams across SoundCloud and YouTube. These mashups showcase his ability to intertwine diverse genres, creating a fresh, immersive auditory language.

noxz’s music reflects a fusion of influences. He channels the harmonic depth and texture of Robert Glasper, the rhythmic energy and bounce of Kaytranada, and the playful genre-blending of Masego. These threads combine into a sound that is uniquely his, dynamic, expressive, and forward-thinking.

As he continues to explore and expand the boundaries of these intertwined disciplines, noxz stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of space and sound.
