Aldo Nova is a Canadian rock band formed around guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Aldo Nova, who is best known for his flashy guitar skills, powerful vocals, and genre-defining hits in the early 1980s. Originally a solo artist, Aldo Nova rose to fame with his self-titled debut album in 1982, which included the hit single "Fantasy." The song's infectious riff, energetic synth lines, and Nova’s soaring vocals made it an instant rock anthem and helped the album achieve multi-platinum success. Known for blending hard rock with early 80s synth sounds, Aldo Nova’s music captured the energy and theatricality of the time, positioning him as an influential figure in the emerging arena rock and glam metal scenes.
Over the years, Aldo Nova continued to release solo albums, such as Subject...Aldo Nova (1983) and Twitch (1985), though none achieved the commercial success of his debut. However, Nova’s talent as a songwriter and producer led him to collaborate with and write hits for other artists, including Celine Dion, Jon Bon Jovi, and Blue Öyster Cult. After a period away from performing, he returned to the music scene in the 2000s, continuing to write and release new material, including Aldo Nova 2.0 (2018), a reimagined version of his classic hits. Known for his dedication to his craft and his contributions to rock music, Aldo Nova has remained a respected figure in the industry, celebrated for his instrumental prowess and pioneering spirit.
