Jade Novah: From viral Rihanna cover to Atlanta music star

Jade Novah turned viral moments — like her breakout Rihanna “Diamonds” cover — into a career the entertainment industry couldn’t ignore, building her own lane across music, comedy and acting. Now rooted in Atlanta, the multihyphenate credits the city’s creative community for helping her grow independently and amplify her artistry. Her journey proves the city remains a launching pad for Black creatives shaping culture on their own terms.
