Nonso Amadi was born in Nigeria and now lives in Toronto. Since moving to Canada, Amadi has seen his career soar: he’s worked on smash single "Different" with Majid Jordan, jumped on the "Closure" remix with Savannah Ré, and dropped his debut album When It Blooms.

He's already racked up hits on When It Blooms with "Foreigner" and "Lock Up," which Amadi says is a message coming from Nigerian youth.

Complex Canada met up with the artist to talk about making music on Audacity, representing Nigeria in Canada, and taking African music global.
