WHAT IT IS: Nova Rockafeller’s unique upbringing in Edmonton and Jamaica helped shape her genre-bending sound. Coming up as an MC on the underground mixtape circuit, she took her cues from pop, with nods to hip-hop and alternative. She’s opened up for everyone from Talib Kweli to All Time Low, a testament to the breadth of her appeal. Upcoming performances are confirmed at SXSW and in NYC. Rockafeller possesses the style, energy and music to become one of 2015’s biggest surprises.
