About Aldo Nova

Aldo Caporuscio, known by the stage name Aldo Nova, is a Canadian hard rock musician.

In 1997, he won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year as co-producer of Celine Dion's 1996 album Falling into You. He co-wrote four songs on the 2000 album Uno by La Ley, which won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album.
