"I feel there's this language of emotion that rarely gets spoken. It's almost as if growing up you learn to lie better and better. To be less real. Songwriting is a relief for me, because I get to be completely real."

Heather Nova, nee Frith, was born on July 6, 1967 in her home country, Bermuda. She spent the vast majority of her childhood aboard a 40-foot sailboat with her mother, father, sister and brother. The only electronic device on the vessel was a wind-powered tape player that her father fashioned for her. On it, she listened to Neil Young, Van Morrison, and the Velvet Underground, falling in love with music in the process. While sailing she learned how to play the guitar and the violin.
Seeking a stable, normal life for their children, Heather's parents moved to Rhode Island when she was 15 years old. Heather, not surprisingly, found it hard to adjust to a social life. Enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design, she found solace in her creative pursuits. She studied painting and film, and composed soundtracks for her 8mm movies. When she realized that making the soundtrack was more fun than making the film, she decided to just focus on music outright.
After college, Heather moved to New York to pursue her music. She continued to dabble in soundtracks while also shopping demos of her singer-songwriter material around the city. A lack of response from the music industry led her to leave New York and try her luck in London.
Overseas, Heather slowly began her career. She played in whatever coffee shops or small venues she could and tried her best to network among record labels. She gathered steam, but still had to keep her day job in the office of the Bermuda travel council. Finally, the guitarist known as Youth, from the well-regarded British '80s band Killing Joke, heard Heather perform, and helped her release her first four-song EP.
Released in 1990, the These Walls EP is now something of a collector's item and it was just the launching pad Heather needed. She continued to make herself known, and released her first full-length album, Glow Stars, in 1993 -- and quickly followed it up with a live effort, Blow, also in 1993. She soon developed quite a reputation as a solid live performer. |
