Novo Amor
Ali John Meredith-Lacey (born August 11, 1991), better known under the moniker Novo Amor, is a Welsh multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, sound designer and producer. Lacey released early work in 2012, but rose to prominence after the release of his debut EP Woodgate, NY in March 2014.[1] He has since released multiple singles as Novo Amor, as well as collaborative work with Ed Tullett.
Career
Lacey was born August 11, 1991 and raised in Llanidloes, Wales.[2] and now resides in Cardiff. Drift, a two-track single self-released in 2012, was Lacey's first release as Novo Amor.[3]
Lacey's first Novo Amor EP, Woodgate, NY, was released 31 March 2014 on Norwegian label Brilliance Records[1], receiving praise from multiple music blogs[4][5] and introducing him to a global audience for the first time. Building on the success of the EP, Lacey released "Faux", a collaboration with Brighton-based artist Ed Tullett, on Dumont Dumont and Brilliance Records on 23 June 2014.[6] In the same month, Lacey also signed to UK publisher BDi Music, part of Bucks Music Group.[7]
"Callow", a further single as Novo Amor, was released 17 November 2014.[8] This was followed by "Welcome to the Jungle", a Guns N' Roses cover for an AXE/Lynx advertising campaign on 6 January 2015[9], its video directed by Nabil.[10] Lacey toured Germany, Switzerland and Austria across April and May 2015[11], and was nominated for 2 awards at the Music Week Sync Awards for the use of his music commercially.[12] "Anchor", another single as Novo Amor, was released 23 October 2015.[13]
A second collaborative single with Ed Tullett, "Alps", was released 15 April 2016. The duo are currently in the process of working on a full-length album together.[14]
Lacey's music has been used extensively across TV and commercials, including campaigns for AXE/Lynx and Expedia[15], and episodes of Bones[16], Masters of Sex[17] and Pretty Little Liars.[18]
