Astrid Fanny Granström (born July 29, 2001), known as Nova Miller, is a singer, songwriter, and musician from Sweden. She is famous for her pop and soul songs. Nova also has a cool style that looks like it's from the past. In 2019, she moved to Los Angeles, California.

Early Life and Music

Nova Miller was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2001. Music runs in her family! Her mom, Claudia Müller Granström, plays the flute. Her dad, Johan Granström, plays the bass and leads a folk rock band. Both of Nova's grandmas and grandpas were musicians too.

Nova's main instrument is the guitar. She also plays the piano, violin, bass, recorder, and ukulele. She started playing the violin when she was four and began dancing at age six. In 2010, she wrote her first song. She even started a girl band with her friends, where she sang and played bass. In 2012, she got her first guitar and started writing more songs.

Music Career

Nova started performing at a young age. In 2013, she sang Christina Aguilera's "Hurt" at a special hall in Stockholm. The next year, she performed at a concert to help children in the Philippines. She also sang at the annual Childhood Cancer Gala.

In 2014, when Nova was twelve, a music executive named Lolene Rothenberg discovered her. Nova was invited to a studio where she sang again. She then went to music schools to get even better at guitar and singing.

In 2015, Nova signed with Universal Music. She released her first song, "Supernova," on June 12, 2015. This song became popular on Spotify's viral chart. The lyrics of "Supernova" talk about Nova's own experiences with bullying at school and online.

Later in 2015, Nova released a Christmas song called "My Perfect Christmas." A Swedish newspaper even ranked it as one of the best Christmas songs ever!

In 2016, Nova released "So Good," a retro pop song. Its music video was shown on MTV. This song was later part of her first collection of songs, called an EP.

Nova's first EP, Yellow, came out on June 1, 2018. Before that, she released two songs from it: "Anything for U" in 2017 and "Turn Up the Fire" in 2018. "Turn Up the Fire" was even nominated for 'Pop Song of the Year' at an awards show!

On October 4, 2019, Nova released "Do It To Myself." This was the first song from her second EP, The Passion. She released two more songs, "Mi Amor" and "Girls Like Us," before The Passion came out on October 16, 2020. She also released two more Christmas songs that year.

In 2021, Nova released "Apricot Skies," which featured another artist named Bankrol Hayden. This was the first song from her third EP, Sting. She released two more songs, "Done" and "Cold Feet," before Sting was released on July 29, 2022.

Other Appearances

In 2018, Nova performed on a TV show called Grattis Kronprinsessan. This show celebrates the birthday of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. Nova also worked with the sportswear brand Puma for her song "Not Your Number."

Nova has also acted! In 2018, she starred as Filippa in the Swedish TV show Svansen i kläm. She also provided the voice for Bliss, the fourth Powerpuff Girl, in the Swedish version of the cartoon.
