Nuuva is the new musical partnership of Hadley Hockensmith and Greg Roz—two accomplished musicians united by a shared passion for exceptional songwriting, memorable melodies, and deep, infectious grooves.

Hadley brings a lifetime of songwriting and musical experience to the project. Hadley spent many years in the Los Angeles studio scene refining his melodic sensibilities, all the while touring for 34 years as Neil Diamond's guitarist while also helping define the sound of the acclaimed LA fusion band Koinonia as a founding member. His gift for melody and song-craft forms the foundation of Nuuva's music.

Greg is a complete musician whose expressive keyboard playing and groove-driven drumming give Nuuva its unmistakable feel. Equally at home behind the keys or the drum kit, he combines musical sophistication with an instinctive sense of rhythm and dynamics.

Although they lived on opposite sides of the country—Hadley in Los Angeles and Greg on the East Coast—the two met online through their shared love of music. Hadley was immediately struck by the quality of Greg's original songs, recognizing a rare combination of musicality, originality, and emotional depth. That first impression sparked a collaboration that quickly grew into a true creative partnership.

Together, Nuuva creates music that is both timeless and fresh—rooted in the classic sounds they love while pushing toward something entirely their own.
