Nova's Bio: If you ask someone that was born and raised in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada what their primary language was growing up, you might expect for them to say English, or even French. However, if you ask native Canadian Nova Page what her first language was, she will undoubtedly smile, and tell you that her first language was Music.
Nova was born to sing. At the tender age of two she was already singing solos at her church. By the time that she turned thirteen, Nova was writing and recording jingles for local and national marketing campaigns. After touring Canada and parts of the U.S. with a Variety show in her late teenage years, Nova soon landed in Southern California where she began a career in music.
After signing with an
independent record label, Nova began gaining experience working with a diverse array of established producers from K-Lou (produced rapper E-40) to Femi Ojetunde (produced projects with Quincy Jones) just to name a few. However, after years of being told by industry types where, how, and what she should sing, she was so discouraged by the process that, at her lowest point, she vowed that she would never sing again. Shortly after she left for Las Vegas, Nevada and buried her talents in the desert sand. Fortunately, her faith and support system would help to pick her up, dust her off and keep her moving toward sharing the God-given gifts that make up who she is.
Nova soon left Las Vegas and moved to
San Diego, California, where she reacquainted herself with the
music industry and quickly became known locally as a powerful stage performer, highly demanded
studio session
singer, and dynamic songwriter. Working on projects ranging from writing and singing demos alongside renowned bass player and
producer Josquin Des Pres, to authoring music construction kits for sample loop giant Big Fish Audio, Nova continued to develop her uniquely soulful vocal style. All the while she was waiting and praying for an avenue to share her own music story with the world.
Nova’s time came shortly after when she was introduced to an up and coming young producer named Brandon Steppe by another artist, King David of T.H.U.G. Gospel Records. The Two clicked creatively and began work on Novas first solo release titled, “On the Couch”.
“For me, ‘On the Couch’ is not just an album. It is the fruit of years of perseverance through tough experiences, hard work, and Godly timing. I am thankful that I have been given the opportunity to tell my story told the way that it was put in my heart to tell. I pray that the stories on this album, some mine, some inspired by others, will touch those that they were created to touch and leave a lasting impression. I invite you to sit down, relax, and listen.”
