Bermuda (1967 – present)

Heather Nova, born Heather Allison Frith, (Bermuda; July 6, 1967) is a singer-songwriter and poet.

Heather Nova is the Bermudian Songwriter who grew up on a boat in the Caribbean and went on to sell over 2 million albums in her 15 year career to date. She has released seven albums and has opened for artitsts like Van Morrison and Neil Young as well as duetting with Artists like Sara McLachlan. She has also had hit records with co-writes featuring artists like ATB (Renegade), and Eskobar (Someone New).Her brother is the Reggae singer Mishka.

By the end of the 1980s, after leaving RISD, Heather moved briefly to New York City (where she unsuccessfully tried to interest some major labels in a demo), before moving to London, England, a place she still calls home. She has British citizenship due to her Bermudan origin. In 1990, she released her first recording, an EP called ‘Heather Frith’ — she had not yet changed her name by then. The name change came a year or so later after several gigs in the Netherlands, where, after finding out that the Dutch have trouble pronouncing “Frith,” she chose a name that would be easily pronounceable in every European language, “Nova,” her Canadian mother’s maiden name.

The new name debuted in 1993 with her second EP ‘Spirit in You’ and her first full album, ‘Glow Stars’. The success of the album led her to record and release her first live album, ‘Blow’, the same year, which she supported by a tour of Europe. A year later in 1994 she released what many consider to be her finest work to date, the emotional yet jagged album ‘Oyster’, for which she toured for almost two years.

My Dear Friends.... I must say it is good to be home having been away over a month, but i've got so many wonderful memories of this tour i just did. I loved the intimacy of the shows, the energy of the audiences, the way the new arrangements took on lives of their own. I think i prefer some of the songs in this stripped down format now. Arnulf was just amazing and so were all of you who came and gave us such a warm response. I also really enjoyed all the guests - from the Papercup winners to old friends like Berit in Copenhagen and Sophie in London, to the new friends like Max Lesser in Zurich. So many incredible musicians and i felt blessed to share a stage with each of them. I am getting down to some writing now. I have so many scraps of paper with ideas written on them, as well as the ones which are just rattling around in my head, so it's time to get them down. So, when i surface i will be in touch. Take care and stay warm! Heather x

Thank you Heather for that amazing unforgettable experience last night. You are live even more wonderful than on your records. No words can describe how much I do admire you. You influenced my life now for a second time and I will 'Walk This Word' with you forever.

I've just discovered her though she's been around quite some time. I woke up (with radio on) and heard the lovely version of "Wicked Game", and then had to go ahead and listen to al her other stuff. Beautiful voice!
