MINOVA

MINOVA’s self-produced debut single “I Miss You So” (2023) was an instant breakthrough - raw, emotional, and entirely her own. Written and recorded in her bedroom, the track resonated deeply with listeners, earning her the cover of Spotify’s Fresh Finds Indie and over 12 million streams to date. Vulnerable yet self-assured, it proved that a 19-year-old could reach hearts around the world by doing it all by herself. Her follow-up, “If You Were Mine”, struck a similar chord and helped build a loyal fan base, especially across North America. The success of both singles led to a signing with New York label Thrice Cooked (Pink Sweat$, Kirby), where she released a series of songs later compiled into her collection, It’s Too Quiet, in late 2024. Over the past year, she has performed in Vienna, Milan, and Dubai, developing a stripped-down acoustic set that brings her songwriting even closer to the audience. She also opened for emerging Canadian pop star Alexander Stewart and appeared at the international festival SOLE DXB. She’s currently working on new songs, some of which are drawn from these live acoustic moments, while others continue the melancholic style she’s known for. With a family heritage rooted in Arabia and the Philippines, MINOVA is a Gen Z artist who could have emerged from any bedroom around the world. An Indie electronic producer with a folkish soul, her rare voice set her apart in a generation that values emotional depth, but rarely delivers it this sincerely.
