Aldo Nova is a Canadian guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist, and producer, known for his self-titled debut album in 1981 featuring the hit single "Fantasy." His style is rooted in hard rock and pop, blending heavy guitar riffs with synthesizer-driven melodies and Nova's characteristic soaring vocals. Notably, he has also contributed significantly to other artists' works, most notably fellow Canadian Celine Dion. Despite a limited discography, Nova's early impact on the fusion of hard rock and pop set a precedent for the genre in the 1980s.
