Atom (drums), and Helen Feng (vox, keys) the former MTV VJ who's been previously dubbed as, "the Queen of Beijing Rock" and the "Blondie of China." The band was founded in 2011 and have since been embraced by influential members of Beijing's art and fashion crowds, music critics, and indie music fans alike - from Beijing to Berlin, London to New York and LA. Nova Heart have recently played the House of Vans in London as well as Glastonbury fest (the first Chinese band to have done so). The Guardian, NME, Clash, Noisey, and Rolling Stone have all shown support and they have a huge following in Beijing (850,000 streams on Xiami, over 200,000 views on LeTV, and 150,000 hits on Youku).
