Jones, and was released by HC Entertainment Group. Three tracks became hits: "Talk to Me" (written and produced by Shaun Myers), "Lie to Me", and "Last Time". Music videos for the songs were directed by RT! and appeared on the charts of Canada's specialized music cable channel MuchMusic.
In 2012, Nozuka released a mixtape titled Love Me. For the mixtape and later works, he began using his full name. In 2013, he released a studio album called Beautiful, along with a music video for the first single from the album, called "Don't Go".
Collaborations
Forgotten Children
Through the Canadian section of Plan, Nozuka was involved in a documentary about restavecs, children working as domestic servants in Haiti. The documentary Forgotten Children: The Story of Haiti's Restavecs, directed by Craig Goodwill, shows the situation of the children through the eyes of various personalities, including Nozuka, a Canadian United Nations peacekeeper, Haitian filmmakers and activists, and former restavecs themselves.[2] Nozuka produced the song "Hurting Child" for the documentary.[3]
Nozuka is one of seven children of Canadian mother Holly Sedgwick[4][5] and Japanese father Hiromitsu Nozuka. Sedgwick raised Nozuka and his six siblings as a single mother.[6] Nozuka is the older brother of the musicians Justin Nozuka and Henry Nozuka, and the actor Philip Nozuka.
Nozuka's aunt, his mother's half-sister, is the actress Kyra Sedgwick, who is married to the actor Kevin Bacon. Their two children, Travis and Sosie Bacon,[7] are Nozuka's first cousins.
