OUR FOUNDER
Michael Nova has developed a proven track record of overseeing multiple businesses & creative projects simultaneously, both as a creative artist and entrepreneur.
As president of Nova Music Productions, Inc., Michael was featured in The New York Times as a pioneer in offering multiple services to independent artists in the music industry.
Several years later, Michael then created Nova Disc and Nova Custom Printing, divisions of the corporation that would focus on offering business-to-business services. Over the years, Nova’s clients grew to include NASA, Google, L’Oreal, Calvin Klein, American Express, The U.S. Government and thousands more.
He also co-founded Metrofly, a non-profit organization that hosted fundraising events for charity as a way to give back to the community.
Then, with the intention of also making a difference through his creative work, Michael independently funded and created the music and film multimedia project, X: The Human Condition with his music group, X: THC – A new musical sound that captured the emotions and heroic reactions people are capable of having when faced with extraordinary adversity. This multimedia project has received rave reviews globally, from Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia to North & South America. To date, the majority of all proceeds have been donated to charity.
