Clara Morel, known artistically as Nova Solène, grew up in a family where classical music and jazz intertwined with shelves of alternative pop vinyls. She studied piano and guitar during her teenage years, later discovering electronic production as a self-taught artist, experimenting with digital audio workstations late at night. Her first recognition came in 2018 with a self-produced EP that drew praise from the independent press and positioned her as a new face of France’s emerging scene. Since then, Nova has built a distinctive world where nocturnal atmospheres, delicate electronic textures, and intimate, poetic songwriting converge.

Across her three albums — Nox & Neon, Rivage, and Échos — she has charted a path of artistic evolution, moving from explorations of solitude and artificial city lights to more organic soundscapes integrating strings, choirs, and acoustic instruments. On stage, she pushes boundaries by working with visual and scenographic artists to deliver hybrid shows that blur the line between musical performance and sensory experience. Recognized for her velvet voice and authenticity, Nova Solène stands out as one of the most promising names in contemporary electro-pop in France.
