After relocating to Hamburg in 2003, Nneka has been working closely with the hip hop beatmaker DJ Farhot. As a young singer she first gained public attention in 2004 while performing as an opening act for dancehall reggae star Sean Paul at Hamburg Stadtpark. After much acclaim, Nneka released her debut EP The Uncomfortable Truth with the music label Yo Mama's Recording Company after which she performed on her first tour with Patrice, playing shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
She finished recording her first album in the autumn of 2005. Entitled Victim of Truth. Garnering rave reviews from the media, the UK's Sunday Times later declared it “the year’s most criminally overlooked album”, comparing it favourably to 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'.
In February 2008, she released her second album, No Longer at Ease. The title of the album is taken from a novel of the same name by Chinua Achebe and reflects the lyrical content of the record. Most of the songs are political, talking about the plight of the Niger Delta and the corruption in Nneka’s homeland. “No Longer at Ease” combines the political and the personal in “a winning mix of soul, hip-hop an reggae”. The lead single from it, "Heartbeat", became her first song to break into the German Top 50.
In November 2009, Nneka staged her first concert tour of the United States where she performed shows in New York City, Vienna (Washington DC), Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Furthermore she was a special guest on The Roots Jam session. Her first US release Concrete Jungle was set for 2 February 2010.
Nneka recorded her last album Soul Is Heavy in Nigeria. She also co-founded a charity foundation called the "ROPE foundation" with Genda, Ahmed Nyei from Sierra Leone. She has worked extensively in charity and arts with the foundation in Sierra Leone. Nneka has also worked with Reebok and her track "Shinning" topped global charts in 2013.

I wonder where these roads would lead you
The thunder's near, these rains might meet you
An agony I left behind
All that you are is one big scar
The tragedy behind the glass
All that there was recover now
With songs and sounds
With songs and sounds
'Cause nothing can separate me from your love
Nothing will separate me from your love
Nothing will separate me from your love
No heights, no depth, no demons, no angels
No heights, no depth, no demons, no angels
You saw them killed, bloodshed, murder
You heard them scream, death too dark to cover
Out of your eyes, the hate
Disturbs them in their slumber
As they toss and turn they will remember
Death and chance belongs to God
There is no doubt I feel for you
But with my mouth I'll speak
'Cause nothing can separate me from your love
Nothing will separate me from your love
Nothing will separate me from your love
No heights, no depth, no demons, no angels
No heights, no depth, no demons, no angels

'Cause nothing can separate me from your love
Nothing will separate me from your love
Nothing will separate me from your love
No heights, no depth, no demons, no angels
No heights, no depth, no demons, no angels
You saw them killed, bloodshed, murder
You heard them scream, death too dark to cover
Out of your eyes, the hate
Disturbs them in their slumber
As they toss and turn they will remember
Death and chance belongs to God
There is no doubt I feel for you
But with my mouth I'll speak
'Cause nothing can separate me from your love
Nothing will separate me from your love
Nothing will separate me from your love
No heights, no depth, no demons, no angels
No heights, no depth, no demons, no angels
