Hailed as an "Orchestra on Six Strings" by the Pasadena weekly, Nocy's rich harmonic textures and lightning-fast play simulate the sounds of many instruments. "I want to make this guitar play like a Saxophone, like drums like congas…you name it, because nobody ever has."

He has performed and recorded with a myriad of artists such as David Foster, Jon Anderson from the rock group Yes, Gypsy Kings, Paul Anka, Rod Stewart, Kenny G, Larry Coryell, Tom Jones, and has accompanied acclaimed Gypsy Guitarist Manitas de Plata.
