I started a career in the Visual Arts in 1978 at the early age of 11. My works are in a permanent exhibition at the Musa Heritage Gallery in Kumbo, Cameroon where I am the director.

My works are also with individuals in Cameroon, Europe and USA. In the company of my brother John Musa (late) we exhibited at the Kumbo Town Green on the occasion of National Day celebrations on the 20th May, 1983.
