Nova & Jory formed a reggaeton duo originating from Puerto Rico, with Nova hailing from Ponce, Puerto Rico and Jory from Carolina, Puerto Rico. Their musical journey commenced in 2003, and at the time they parted ways, they were signed under the Loud Music label. Their sole album, Mucha Calidad, was officially launched on July 12, 2011. In October 2012, the pair announced a friendly separation to focus on individual solo endeavors.

Early years and debut

Fernando Sierra, known professionally as "Jory," was born on July 5, 1986, in Carolina, Puerto Rico and grew up in Residencial Torres de Sabana. Nova was raised in the greater Ponce area, including the municipalities of Santa Isabel and Peñuelas, Puerto Rico. Both artists developed an early passion for reggaeton and relocated to the United States during their teenage years—Jory moved to Camden, New Jersey at age 10, while Nova relocated at 15.

Career

Before joining forces, Nova and Jory performed individually at various events and competitions. Their collaboration began in 2003 when they recorded a song together, which led to forming a permanent duo and releasing their initial mixtape titled Por Encima. They went on to open for renowned reggaeton acts such as Ñejo & Dalmata, Wisin & Yandel, Zion & Lennox, and Jowell & Randy.

Starting in 2007, with backing from BadLandz Entertainment, they concentrated their efforts on building their reputation within Puerto Rico. Returning to their home country to solidify their fan base, they teamed up with Guelo Star on the track "Es la Impresion," produced by Yai y Toly "Los Nativos," which became a major success. Alongside Syko "El Terror," they launched "Empresario Studio" and collaborated with producer Onyx to refine their musical style.

Their song "Bienvenidos a Mi Mundo," featuring Syko and Cosculluela, depicted street life realities and achieved significant attention. The remix version included contributions from Zion, Franco "el Gorila", Ñejo, and Polaco. Additionally, their partnership with Yaga & Mackie on the track "Perfume" received positive acclaim.

In 2008, after parting ways with BandLandz, they signed with Black Jack Music and released the mixtape Salimos del Bloque, supported by Alex Corolla, AK 47, and Real Talk Reggaeton. While the single "Traila" gained radio play, it was "Bien Loco" that expanded their popularity throughout Central and South America—particularly in Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and Chile—resulting in tours and widespread recognition during 2009.

Following singles such as "Matador" and "No Seas Mala" (featuring Trebol Clan) furthered their momentum. They also participated in the major remix "Rastrillea 2," which featured prominent artists within the genre. Their signing with Millones Records opened opportunities to collaborate with producers including Walde 'The Big Maker', Sinfónico, Jan Paul, Omi Colchea, Yampi, Dj Nelson, Montana The Producer, Onyx, Ruff, and Iván Lee.

By late 2011, their agreement with Millones Records concluded; early in 2012 they revealed plans to join Loud Music. Continuing tours across South America to promote Mucha Calidad, they worked on remixes with J. Alvarez and Farruko while extensively collaborating with producers Musicologo & Menes from Daddy Yankee's El Cartel Records. A follow-up project titled Mucha Calidad Reloaded was scheduled for release in 2012.

Solo ventures

Since 2013, both Nova and Jory have embarked on prosperous individual music paths.

Jory Boy

Fernando Luis Sierra Benitez, professionally recognized as Jory Boy or simply Jory, was born on July 4, 1986, in Carolina, Puerto Rico. At the age of 10, he relocated to Philadelphia. His early musical journey included collaborations in the duo "Yvan y Jory" and participation in the group Sug Music, before forming the duo Nova & Jory, which remained active for ten years until their amicable split.

Launching his solo trajectory in 2013, Jory became part of Pina Records' project "The Formula," where he contributed to the global success of the track "More," performed by Zion and Ken featuring Jory. He subsequently released solo hits such as "Romeo y Julieta" and "Noches de Fantasía." In 2015, Jory signed contracts with Young Boss Entertainment Inc. and La Isla del Entretenimiento Inc., gearing up to release his first solo album Matando la Liga. Preceding the album, singles like "Quédate Conmigo" and "Por Qué Cambiar" achieved international acclaim, supported by tours spanning the United States, Europe, and Latin America. The album debuted in 2015, followed by the release of the Otra Liga EP series.

In 2018, Jory Boy encountered legal complications that resulted in his entry being refused for a planned concert in Chile.

Nova

Fernando L. González, who performs under the names Nova or Nova La Amenaza, originates from Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico. Renowned for reggaeton tracks including "Aprovecha," "Besame," and "Bien Loco," he was a member of Nova & Jory for a decade. In 2015, he launched his solo debut album titled El Subestimado and aligned with management firm Compi Records Inc.
