He cites the likes of Usher, Chris Brown and R&B group the Jagged Edge as musical influences while also having an appreciation for a wide range of musical genres including country, indi-folk, Classical and Afro-Soul.

The signs of his musical gifts were evident from a young age. While he was only ten, he began singing in choir and by fourteen he was the drummer for a band named ‘The Change’. At age eighteen he joined the Zimpraise outfit. “Being a musician has been a great learning curve. Exploring my gifting as a singer and songwriter and evolving with each season and each year has been an interesting journey as I have gotten to learn a lot about finding my place in my journey as a creative and in relation to the industry.” He claims the most difficult part of the industry remaining consistent and overcoming seasons where inspiration is absent.

The musician’s debut EP titled ‘Novacane’ was released in 2021. The body of work was the result of Drealnova working with eight producers. Stand out singles from the album include “Cleopatra” in which he pays homage to a woman he admires. The acoustic style “Kure Kwegava” a song about lost love in which the singer delivers with decorated riffs and heartfelt emotion.

He recently released a song titled “Soft (Prayer)” which was accompanied by a visualizer. The song speaks of the coveted “soft life” and luxury.
