Unfortunately this was also the end of the hair band era. Also during this time, Aldo produced some early Céline Dion albums.

He helped write and produce parts of Chantal Condor's 1989 album Chantal. Aldo Nova also worked with such diverse artists such as Blue Öyster Cult, Michael Bolton, and Lita Ford. Aldo Nova was a relatively late bloomer musically, not learning how to play the instrument until he was 15. However, inspired by the playing of Jimi Hendrix and with a keen interest in jazz, Nova worked obsessively to master the instrument (along with keyboards) and became a hometown hero in the local clubs.
