Dead Boyfriend

DEAD BOYFRIEND started as the solo passion project of Denver-based singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, Ashley Nova Brown, in 2017. After recording 2 albums and an EP on her own, she added a saxophonist and drummer for her latest release, Strangers Forever, to help round out her indie/punk/folk/rock vibe. Piano and bass guitar backed songs with abstract lyricism give Dead Boyfriend a fresh and unique sound. While in high school, Nova learned to play multiple instruments and then taught herself how to record and mix music at home so she could shape the sound of the music exactly the way she wanted it. Strangers Forever is her first release to be professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered. Even though the pandemic has kept Nova & Dead Boyfriend from being able to perform live in front of audiences, she recently was a featured performer in the Arts Across America series presented by The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts and Youth on Record, and continues to contribute to the Denver music scene.
