Activity:
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.
In 1985 I carved a wall portrait of the then President of the
Federal Republic of Germany, His Excellency,
Dr. Richard von Weizsacker which
I sent as a gift to him through the kind courtesy of his country's
Ambassador to Yaounde, Cameroon.
