The years to come would prove prominent for Heather Nova. The president of Big Cat Records, Abbo, was taken by Nova's innocent lyrical beauty and made her an offer. Born to a Canadian mother and a father from Bermuda, Heather Frith used singing and music as a means of entertainment during her childhood. Two years later, she and her family returned to the States, where Nova enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Performing Arts and began studying visual arts. She was creatively in control of her own material and comfortable in her London home. She incessantly listened to taped records from her mother, later crafting her own songs by age eight. Prior to the decade's end, Nova went back to Bermuda on December 31, 1999, for her first show ever.
Nova hooked up with Killing Joke's Youth for her proper global debut, 1994's Oyster. It was followed two years later by Redbird. To make her dream come true, she moved to New York City and adopted her mother's maiden name. South V2 was recorded while on vacation in Bermuda and the title itself was an homage to Nova's upbringing. Her imagination was tested and music was her calling. One to be taken by a moving image and art itself, Nova shifted creativity into writing music -- but music for films.
It was there that she reflected upon her life and composed songs for a third album. Coffeehouse gigs across the country attributed to Nova's growth as a performer and Blow, a live effort, followed the same year. After a world tour, Nova returned to Bermuda for some down time. The album was a chart-topper in the U. Her ninth studio album, the Americana-infused The Way It Feels, was recorded in Charleston, South Carolina and released in the summer of 2015. A closet songwriter of sorts, Nova was quick to realize that she could mix her love for film and music for something solid.
The sweetness of Heather Nova consumed the indie rock market throughout the 1990s, and into the new millennium she was a rising star across the globe. The acoustic and earth-friendly The Jasmine Flower recorded on a solar-powered laptop appeared in 2008, and the upbeat, nautical-themed 300 Days at Sea, featuring a full band, surfaced in 2011. Still England's sweetheart, Nova surfaced for a fourth album in the fall of 2001. She was born in her father's native land on July 6, 1967, and spent the next 16 years of her life aboard a 40-foot boat with her parents, brother, and sister. .
By 14, she was learning to play guitar and was a fan of Neil Young and Jimmy Cliff. Time spent in the city that never sleeps was short-lived; Nova found herself at home in London by the late '80s and focused on songwriting. Nova was a budding artist and growing confident by the time she issued her first album, Glowstars, in 1993. Siren would surface in 1998, showcasing a more calm and serene Nova. .
