The talented artist continues to reach greater heights in the face of adversity.
Notché’s journey in the ever-shifting landscape of the music industry has been a testament to resilience and reinvention. Although a malicious attack on his Instagram account led to losing all the music he’d painstakingly curated, he would not let this or anything else keep him down. Instead, Notché used it as a catalyst for transformation. His forced hiatus became a deep introspection and rediscovery period, leading him to new heights and appreciation for his craft.
Notché’s journey of introspection would, importantly, lead him back to the vibrant cultural landscapes of Africa. There, he immersed himself in the continent's rich tapestry of rhythmic beats and traditions and found the inspiration to start again. Armed with the courage, skill, and inspiration to craft powerful new musical narratives, Notché would return to work again.
In June 2023, his soul-searching journey culminated in the release of his single “Sentiment,” marking a triumphant return to the music scene.
Harmonious, groovy, and captivating, Notché’s latest release, “Back 2 Business,” feels like so much more than a regular release, even with the high standard he’s held for himself. “Back 2 Business” sees Notché continue to reach even higher artistic heights in the face of adversity. The instrumentals are slightly slow but incredibly groovy, utilizing elements of amapiano and afrobeats to bring an irresistible bassline. Notché’s understated vocal performance melds perfectly with these instrumentals, making “Back 2 Business" an incredibly alluring release that feels like it’s inviting you to loosen up and hit the dance floor.
As he re-establishs his presence in the global music scene, Notché continues to show that his early and recent successes were no fluke. Whenever you’re ready, tap in and stream Notché’s latest release, “Back 2 Business,” on all majour streaming platforms.
Welcome to Buzz, Notché! We loved “Back 2 Business,” and we have to say, you really haven’t missed a beat since your return! We had to ask, what’s it been like to make music again after you consistently got hacked, and what was your favorite part of making this release?
Initially, I had no desire to record again. I felt utterly defeated after being hacked and losing everything when my hard drive crashed. I stepped away from it all, thinking I was done. But then, something stirred within me—God had other plans. I decided to invest in brand-new equipment and get back to work. Releasing new music feels like reintroducing myself to the world and bringing my passion back to life.
What inspired you to take that initial step to seriously pursue music, and what motivates you to make music now?
Initially, I had no desire to record again. I felt utterly defeated after being hacked and losing everything when my hard drive crashed. I stepped away from it all, thinking I was done. But then, something stirred within me—God had other plans. I decided to invest in brand-new equipment and get back to work. Now, releasing new music feels like reintroducing myself to the world and bringing my passion back to life.
What went through your brain when you realized you had lost your music, and how did it feel when you finally returned with “Sentiment?"
Losing my music felt like losing a part of myself. But in hindsight, I don't think it would have had the same impact back then as it does today. "Sentiment" is a track I created at my parents' house, and it became my way of introducing a new sound to the world.
Do you have any advice for any listeners who might be trying to follow in your footsteps?
Keep God, stay focused, and stay creative!
