Astrid Fanny Granström (born 29 July 2001), professionally known as Nova Miller, is a Swedish songwriter, dancer, actress and multi-instrumentalist from Stockholm, Sweden.

Life

Miller was born in Stockholm in 2001. Her mother, Claudia Müller Granström, is a flutist with a master's degree from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Her father, Johan Granström, is a bassist who has toured with folk rock duo Nordman and is bandleader for folk rock group Hej Kalle. Both of Miller's maternal grandparents were pianists and her paternal grandfather was a musician and bandleader. Miller also toured with Nordman and as part of folk music trio Frispel.

Miller's main instrument is the guitar. She also plays piano, violin and, to a lesser extent, bass, recorder and ukulele. She began playing the violin at age four and began dance at age six. In 2010, she wrote her first song and formed a girl band with her friends, in which she sang and played bass. In 2012, she got her first guitar and began songwriting.

Career

On 11 March 2013, Miller performed Christina Aguilera's "Hurt" in Eric Ericsonhallen (the former Skeppsholmen Church).

On 30 January 2014, Miller performed Bachelor Girl's "Buses and Trains" at the "Växjö för Filippinernas barn" benefit concert, held in the Växjö concert hall. About a month later, she performed the same song accompanied by her Father's band Hej Kalle and Kalle Moraeus, on the annual Barncancergalan (the Childhood Cancer Gala) held at Sälens Högfjällshotell.

In mid-March 2014, Miller (still using the name Fanny Granström) had qualified for the final round in the Under Fifteen category of Helges Talangjakt, an international music festival held in Gävle.

In 2014, at age twelve, Miller was discovered by British music executive Lolene Rothenberg at Lasse Kühlers dance school in Stockholm. She was invited to Rothenberg's studio, where she again performed "Buses and Trains." She went on to attend Nacka musikklasser and later Maestroskolan, two music schools located in Nacka Municipality, near the family home where she grew up. Here, she continued to improve her guitar and voice skills.

In the spring of 2015, 21:12 Entertainment signed Miller to Universal Music. She released her debut track "Supernova" on 12 June 2015. The song reached Spotify's viral chart. The lyrics address Miller's experiences with bullying at school and online.

Miller released an original Christmas single entitled "My Perfect Christmas" on 25th November 2015. The single was ranked #13 out of 100 Best Christmas songs of all time by the Swedish newspaper Expressen.

On 27 May 2016 Miller released the retro pop track "So Good," inspired by James Brown's song "I Got You (I Feel Good)." The music video premiered on MTV, on 27 June of the same year. The track was later featured on her debut EP.

On 18 August 2017 Miller released the lead single for her upcoming debut EP Yellow, "Anything for U." The second single off the EP, "Turn Up the Fire", debuted on On Air With Ryan Seacrest on 25 January 2018. The track was nominated for 'Pop Song of the Year' at the 2019 Scandipop Awards. Miller's debut EP Yellow was released on 1 June 2018.

On 4 October 2019, Miller released "Do It To Myself," the lead single for her upcoming second EP The Passion. The second single, "Mi Amor," was released on 29 May 2020. On 18 September the third single, "Girls Like Us," was released. Miller's second EP The Passion was released on 16 October. Later in the year Miller released two Christmas singles titled "Red Dress" and "Only When It Snows."

In August 2021, Miller released "Apricot Skies," featuring Bankrol Hayden, as the lead single for upcoming third EP Sting. On 12 November 2021 the second single, "Done," was released. The third single, "Cold Feet," was released on 21 January 2022. Miller's third EP Sting was released on 29 July 2022.

Appearances

In 2018, Miller performed on Grattis Kronprinsessan, an annual live television broadcast where notable Swedish artists perform in celebration of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden's birthday. Miller has also collaborated with sportswear brand Puma with her single "Not Your Number," released on 3 August 2018. The campaign was shot by Tim Milgram and features viral dancers Jade Chynoweth, Jojo Gomez and Cache Melvin.

In television, Miller starred as the lead in the Swedish show Svansen i kläm in 2018. Later in the year she provided the voice of the fourth Powerpuff Girl, Bliss, in the Swedish dub for Cartoon Network.
