Justin Nozuka Reveals Beautiful New Single “Nova”

Following Justin Nozuka’s latest live EP and live EP film “Now & Then” he has returned with his latest single “Nova.” Flushed with feel-good melodies that speak for hot summer days, “Nova” is a stunning prize that is proving Justin’s new realised self. 

“With these two I felt the pull to dive into a more contemporary sound. It’s the first time I’ve really gone in this direction… kinda scary but also very liberating. I’m just having fun with these two, exploring new sounds. Have been sitting on the Nova idea for over 2 years, played it for my manager and he was like - THAT - let’s get That," said Justin Nozuka.

Kicking off his recorded musical journey at the early age of 17, Justin released his debut album “Holly” in 2009. Since his debut, Justin has received a duo of JUNO nominations in Canada, two Gold albums (“Holly”, and “You I Wind Land Sea”), as well as winning an NRJ Award in France.

The son of a Japanese father and American mother, Nozuka was born in New York City as one of seven children before relocating to Toronto. Nozuka began writing music at the age of 12, playing shows in Toronto on the burgeoning folk and singer/songwriter circuit before attracting the attention of British indie label, Outcaste Records (Joss Stone, KT Tunstall) who signed him early on in his career. For Nozuka's 2010 release, “You I Wind Land and Sea”, he had expanded his sound further, experimenting with his techniques and self-producing at his home studio which was built by himself. 2020 marked the exciting return of one of Toronto's most prevalent artists, and it also hints towards a larger project which will materialize throughout 2021.
