Aldo Nova - November 1983
Aldo Nova is a Canadian guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist and producer. Nova gained fame with his self-titled debut album Aldo Nova in 1981, and its accompanying single "Fantasy", which climbed to #23 on the Billboard Hot 100. His next album, “Subject...Aldo Nova” had a minor hit with "Monkey on Your Back," but his solo career flagged and he became a player and songwriter for other bands. He worked with Jon Bon Jovi in both the early and late 1980s and produced some early Céline Dion albums. In 1991, Nova sought the help of Jon Bon Jovi to revive his solo career on his release “Blood On The Bricks”, but it still only managed to chart at number 124.
As a songwriter, Nova's recent hits include Clay Aiken's "This is the Night" (co-written with Chris Braide and Gary Burr), which in the US was a number one hit and the best-selling single of 2003.
