Justin Nozuka & Makila for Children in the Wilderness. "An exceptional sharing experience"
MAR 22 2011
Thank you to Makila for helping make Justin's recent trip to Africa an unforgettable experience! Check out their website www.makila.fr and the message below.

The music and the voice of Justin Nozuka had already taken over our hearts when we first met. His generosity, his humility and our common values gave us the will to do something more.

Justin joined us then in Zimbabwe to spend a week with children in need who are Supported by the Children in the Wilderness project. These days in Africa became unforgettable.

Together, Justin and the children did not only sing and play the guitar but also exchanged thoughts about their different cultures and the much needed protection of the environment and African fauna.

Coming back home, just like the Fox taught the Little Prince (Saint-Exupéry tale) "you will now always be responsible for what you tamed", Justin immediately selected pictures and videos taken during his african journey and created a beautiful internet page, dedicated to his trip in Africa.

Justin's voice becomes even greater by sharing with his generation and fans the Children Wilderness cause and its projects.

And for that we can only say: Thank You.
xx

JUSTIN NOZUKA WINS BIG AT NRJ MUSIC AWARDS IN CANNES
JAN 27 2011
January 27 , 2011 (Toronto, ON) It was only a matter of time before Toronto's vocal powerhouse, Justin Nozuka, took the international stage by storm. This past weekend marked the beginning of Nozuka's takeover with his victory at the 2011 NRJ Music Awards. Recognized for his song Heartless featuring French vocalist Zaho, Nozuka beat out fellow nominee pairs Coeur de Pirate/Julien Doré, K’Naan/Féfé and Superbus, to take home his first international win, Francophone Group/Duo of the Year.

In Canada, "Heartless" is gaining momentum at Mainstream AC Radio where it enters the Top 10 Audience chart this week. The duet with Zaho is getting strong support from radio in Quebec (where it reached #1 on the Francophone airplay chart in November) while Justin's solo track has picked up airplay at major stations across English Canada.

This win follows the success of Nozuka's first album, Holly, which went Gold in France thanks in large part to the hit single "After Tonight." Proving that he has earned his reputation as a performer destined for greatness, Nozuka continues to tour in support of his most recent album, You I Wind Land and Sea. Bringing him to major US markets and back to Europe this spring and summer, the tour will see Nozuka spending any down time working on songs for his upcoming record.

Watch the NRJ Music Awards airing on MusiquePlus in Canada this weekend - Saturday, Jan. 29 at 11 p.m. and Sunday Jan. 30th at 10 a.m.
