Heather Nova (born Heather Allison Frith on July 6, 1967) is a singer-songwriter and poet from Bermuda.
Heather was born in Bermuda. Her father's family history on the island dates back 300 years, while her mother is of Canadian origin. Heather spent most of her childhood with her family (including one sister, Susannah, and one brother, reggae singer Mishka) on a 40 ft (12 m) boat built by her father, where the Friths spent most of the 1970s and part of the 1980s, sailing throughout the Atlantic and Caribbean waters and coasts.
Heather started playing guitar and violin at a very early age, writing her first song when she was 12. Her family relocated to New England where she attended the Putney School in Putney, Vermont. Following her graduation in 1983, Heather enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where she majored in film in 1989. Read more about ...
