Hot Like Wow (2007 to 2008)
Oh's debut album Hot Like Wow was produced by Space Cowboy and released in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2008 by Tiger Trax Records, with songs featured on the American TV shows Ugly Betty, Gossip Girl and So You Think You Can Dance. On July 16, 2011, the title track "Hot Like Wow" was featured on So You Think You Can Dance for the second time. The album was preceded by three singles: "My Egyptian Lover", "Something 4 the Weekend" and "N.A.D.I.A. O.H." from 2007 to 2008. The album was however supported by the release of the single, "Got Your Number", that bought her international attention on the American TV series, Gossip Girl.
Colours (2009 to 2012)
Oh worked once again with Space Cowboy on her second studio album, Colours, released on May 8, 2011. Singles from the album, "Taking Over the Dancefloor", which received airplay on BBC Radio 1's The Scott Mills Show, and "No Bueno", showcase a moombahton style and were named Song of the Day by Popjustice on 21 March and June 27, 2011, respectively.
Hiatus and modelling (2013-present)
Since 2012, Oh has not released any new material despite suggesting otherwise. She has since pursued a career in modelling. It is unclear if Oh plans on returning to music. A demo of a song with singer and producer MNEK dated from 2012 allegedly called "Radio Religion" surfaced online in 2021 but it was never officially released.

The lyrics of Nadia Oh's song "DJ's Girlfriend" speak to the thrilling experience of being a club-goer and falling for the DJ's music. In the first verse, the intensity of the music is likened to being spun around like a DJ record, with the singer seemingly in a dream-like state. The use of the phrase "just enough to make my [heart] pop pop" connotes excitement and potential attraction. We then see the singer enjoying the atmosphere - drinking, dancing and feeling confident - wanting to attract the attention of the "super hot DJ".
The chorus repeats the singer's desire to be the DJ's girlfriend, cementing the song's narrative arc. The second verse shows the singer's materialistic side, highlighting their flashy clothes and lack of inhibition, painting a picture of a fun-loving and confident individual. Despite this, the attention still goes back to the DJ and his music, with the line "DJ giving in keeps on spinning" suggesting dedication to the craft. The bridge introduces an interesting element, with the singer acknowledging that they don't know the DJ's name but still recognizing him as a superstar. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the final line "He's blowing all the club / Dynamite", speaking to the high-energy nature of the music and the singer's attraction to it.
