Watch Debi Nova make her American television debut on last night’s “Dancing With The Stars.” The Costa Rican beauty performed her single “Drummer Boy” and lit up the dance floor alongside dancing pros Derek Hough, Damian Whitewood, Tony Dovolani and Dmitry Chaplin. Stay tuned for the release of her North American debut, Luna Nueva (Surco/Decca), on May 18th.
Nova is poised to conquer the U.S. with her hybrid debut, incorporating both English and Spanish and her love of both cultures. Luna Nueva is an electrifying combination of irresistible Latin rhythms and potent pop smarts that showcases this vivacious artist's considerable musical gifts – she plays piano, guitar, bass, timbales and more – as well as her rich Latina heritage.
Debi Nova has amassed an impressive body of work including six Grammy-nominated projects, a #1 single, collaborations with the likes of Black Eyed Peas and Ricky Martin, and touring the world. She has been writing and performing professionally since the age of 14 and signed her first songwriter deal at the age of 17, subsequently penning songs for Latin recording artists Belinda and RBD, Sean Paul, Mark Ronson and her own single, “One Rhythm” which reached #1 in Latin America and on the US dance charts. The forthcoming Luna Nueva, was co-produced by Surco Records founder Gustavo Santaoalla (two-time Oscar winner, multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy winner, Juanes, Café Tacvba) and Marius de Vries (five-time Grammy Award nominee, two-time BAFTA winner, Madonna, Josh Groban).
