Aldo Nova

Aldo Nova is the stage name of Aldo Caporuscio (born November 13, 1956), a Canadian hard rock musician and music producer. He is a guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist. Nova was born in Montreal, Quebec, to Italian immigrant parents from a small village near Rome. He adopted the stage name Aldo Nova when he started playing guitar and keyboards at age 15. Nova gained recognition with his 1982 debut album "Aldo Nova", which peaked at Billboard's number 8 position, and its accompanying single, "Fantasy", which reached number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and boosted sales for its parent album. Beyond his performing career, in 1997, he won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year as co-producer of Celine Dion's 1996 album "Falling into You". He co-wrote the hit song, "A New Day Has Come" for Dion, and has been featured playing guitar, synthesizer, and percussion on her records. In 1990, Aldo Nova wrote the main guitar riff used in the Jon Bon Jovi song, "Blaze of Glory", and in 1991, to return the favour, Bon Jovi worked with Nova to release "Blood on the Bricks" on Bon Jovi's label Jambco Records. Aldo Nova's contributions to rock music as both a performer and a producer have made him an important figure in Canadian music history.
