With Nova’s initial background in classical singing and Dragos’ diverse musical experience, it took jazz to bring Nova and Dragos together, creating a multi-genre duo.

With their combined love for jazz and rock music, the duo brings everything including light acoustic vibes, to upbeat jams, to the odd rock inspired headbanger. 

Expect a mix of pop and jazzy covers as well as some rock and a couple of originals too.

Charlie Cooper writes vintage soul, updated perfectly, sung with deep and husky soul-pipes! Not only comparable with classic voices like Dusty Springfield and Shirley Bassey but also up there with modern soul divas Alice Russell and Sharon Jones, Charlie is a vocal force to be reckoned with.
