Heather Nova

Heather Nova (born Heather Allison Frith; 6 July 1967) is a Bermudian singer-songwriter. Born in Bermuda to a Canadian mother and Bermudian father, she spent most of her childhood aboard a sailboat, sailing throughout the Atlantic. As a teenager, she relocated to the United States, where she attended the Rhode Island School of Design, earning a degree in film in 1989.

In 1990, after a stint residing in New York City, she relocated to London and began writing and performing music, releasing her first EP that year on the British independent label Big Cat Records. After releasing the studio albums Glow Stars (1993) and Oyster (1994), she found mainstream recognition with her third record, Siren (1998), which charted on the Billboard 200 after two of its tracks were featured on the popular American television series Felicity and Dawson's Creek.

Nova followed this with the albums South (2001), Storm (2003), and Redbird (2005). In 2006, she released The Sorrowjoy, a poetry album. Her subsequent albums include The Jasmine Flower (2008), 300 Days at Sea (2011), The Way It Feels (2015), and Pearl (2019).
