We caught up with the brilliant and insightful N’ova J a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi N’ova, thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
My most meaningful project to date would have to be my debut EP, “GROUNDED”. This project represents a time of self discovery and putting myself out into the world with more godfidence than before. I have been singing my entire life but just released my first song in 2022 along with this project. It is the foundation for the rest of my music career!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is N’ova J and I’m a neo-soul artist from the A! I believe that we can do, be , or have anything that we want. I hope to spread positive energy and love through my music and collaborate with as many talented people as possible. I’ve had the amazing opportunity to serve as a host, mentor, stylist, model, and entertainer in my community. The connections I’ve made are the most valuable to me. My passion and purpose is helping others. I feel so blessed that my songs allow me to connect with people across the globe!
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
That you have to fight to be heard. When I started walking in what was aligned with my dream life, doors began to open and fears became triumphs! Things that I thought were years away I’ve been able to accomplish with the resources I have and the love and support of my team. Everyone has a voice and only they can decide if or how its heard!
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The connections yu make with other creatives! Before becoming a full time artist, I was working in accounting while also completing y MBA. My life went from 12 hour workdays and routine, to being out till 4m and getting a gig at a moments notice! Creating a space where I get to exist in a way that expresses who I am and what I do is the biggest gift!
