Having fallen in love with poetry and Hip Hop as a child, little did Karl Nova know he was beginning on a journey that would thrust him on the stage delivering poetic lines of his own in his unique, witty and energetic style. 
 Born and raised in London as well as Lagos, Karl always found it difficult to fit in, it reflects in his music because he speaks as one who knows what it is like to be on the margins, in a world where conformity seems to be the key to gaining acceptance, he has always been one to defy expectations and go against the grain.
