Nobel, upon reflection of her growth as an artist, cites the video for "Bonita Applebum" by a Tribe Called Quest as a muse for such creative possibilities.
In the process, Nobel developed a distinct sound, incorporating atmospheric guitars, hip-hop beats, heavy bass lines, samples, string arrangements and innovative programming.
In May 2008, Nobel became the third member of the electro-rap group Idle Warship alongside (Talib Kweli and Res) releasing their "Party Robot" mixtape (October 2009).
Nobel has also worked with Muja Messiah, Simon Wilcox, Pharrell Williams, N.E.R.D., The Neptunes, The Clipse, Questlove, Chantal Kraviazuck, Kardinal Official.
