​Welcome to the sound of Nosakhere Papa Soul—a sound built not just on beats and melodies, but on transformation, purpose, and fierce determination. Every note you hear is a reflection of a life-altering journey that began with deep introspection and led to a total spiritual and creative alignment. Step inside this world where music meets mission, where grit meets grace, and where a commitment to faith and serving others is the foundational rhythm. I am thrilled to share my heart, my history, and the soulful sound forged in the legendary home of the blues, Memphis, Tennessee, and refined on the demanding streets of Chicago. I sincerely hope my story—and my music—inspires you to embrace the full, God-given potential of your own life.

The Journey: Nosakhere Papa Soul

​

Renewed by a profound spiritual and emotional journey, I underwent a complete paradigm shift. I discovered that true success lies in self-acceptance and purpose. This clarity fuels my work, turning past setbacks into the powerful character and sound you hear today.
 

 My creative voice was unlocked by a spiritual commitment to God, leading me to shed false attachments and embrace my most authentic self. This path is one of true freedom. I use the lessons from my trials and victories to create. My journey is proof that letting go of who you think you should be, and fully embracing God’s design, is the ultimate source of character and infinite potential.
 

 I turned the page to a new chapter, rebranding as "Nosakhere Papa Soul." My Nigerian name, Nosakhere, means "God's way is the only way," and Papa Soul signifies a spirit Fathered by God. With little more than a duffle bag of songs and sheer determination, I left Memphis and launched my career, fearless and focused, in the demanding, vibrant landscape of Chicago.
 

 My relocation to Chicago was followed by a definitive return to live performance. The electric energy of that first open mic session—where the crowd's applause felt like a divine affirmation—inspired my new, soulful sound. Driven by this clear purpose, and graciously hosted by my Uncle and Aunt, I immersed myself in production. Working late into the night with the few instruments I had, I relentlessly forged the foundation of my unique production identity.

The attic became my creative sanctuary—a place where I focused solely on writing and production, even hosting early sessions with artists. I drew immense inspiration from the city's pulse, translating the sounds of Chicago’s streets, trains, and vibrant multicultural life into my music. This intensive creative output led to a pivotal moment during an esteemed poetry slam performance where I connected with a local cable producer, instantly establishing a substantial professional path for my sound and artistry.

After successfully introducing myself to a local producer, I quickly secured a partnership, leveraging my prior television experience. Asserting myself behind the scenes at the Comcast "Community Essentials" cable set, I rapidly advanced from Sound Engineer and Voice-Over to Creative Director and Host. I maximized this experience by reproducing the show’s video intro and theme song. This pivotal time provided invaluable high-level networking and firsthand exposure to the industry, from working with mayors and CEOs to observing major film sets up close.

I quickly gained prominence as Chief Producer for "Operation Safe Child," composing high-volume, educational songs for inner-city youth. This success was paralleled by commercial collaborations with local producers, where I served as a writer/artist on major project pitches, including work for Coca-Cola.

​

 My creative capacity expanded across multiple disciplines, including design (CD covers, graphics, websites) and video production for client marketing. I also dedicated time to mentoring aspiring youngsters at the local Y.M.C.A. During this period, I relentlessly honed my craft, crystallizing a high-resonance sound rooted in soul, funk, hip-hop, and R&B. This focused effort has resulted in over 21 self-written, produced, and recorded albums, distributed globally across every major digital platform worldwide.

​​

I must mention with great humility, & gratitude. That as of Feb. 13 2021 I am now happily married to Cassandra Bell.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​​Driven by spiritual intention, I operate with optimal clarity and masterful expression, moving far beyond any personal vision for success. My work is my testimony to the transformative power of grace. My core intent is to serve: I use my voice, compassion, and harmonious vibe to influence others to recognize and embrace their own limitless, God-given potential. This commitment to sharing good works and encouraging self-discovery defines my artistry.

My greatest fulfillment comes from serving others—finding a genuine need and filling it with the best of my God-given abilities. Whether through art or a kind word, making a positive impact on someone's life is my measure of success. The unexpected joy and gratitude received in return—especially when expressing God's love and strength—affirms that this mission is far greater than I am, and it is where I find my highest purpose.

​
I am a magnanimous soul, warrior of love, and a weapon of inspiration. As a prolific artist and music producer, I have built a globally circulated, extensive, and still-growing library of timelessly compelling songs. Having invested my 10,000 hours in the practice of excellence, I treat every new album as my best opportunity to create. Because the next great work is always ahead, I challenge myself to deliver the highest quality, most epic creation every time. This lifelong creative dance with God, the Master of my inspiration, is what I share with you. Thank you for sharing this journey; stay tuned—there is always more to come.

My life's defining wisdom, whether at forty or one hundred, remains the same: There is no magical secret to life. The greatest fulfillment lies in building a relationship with God our Father. Ask Him for His will, listen, and trust with absolute conviction. Surrendering to His predestined path grants access to the fullness of eternal riches, grace, and blessings—a journey impossible to complete alone.

​

Acts 4:10-12 

​

Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

 Philippians 4:19-20 

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever, Amen.

​​​

Romans 8:31-39

​

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 

As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.
 
May God continue to richly bless all of your lives.
 
Sincerely the artist: Nosakhere Papa Soul
