LOS ANGELES — In honor of Earth Day this year, 11-year-old music prodigy Nova has released a powerful new music video titled “Change,” designed to inspire environmental awareness and action. The video, directed by 77-time award-winning duo Bayou Bennett and Daniel Lir of Dream Team Directors, blends music, activism and sustainable fashion in a call for urgent change.

Nova, a gifted singer-songwriter wise beyond her years, wrote both the lyrics and melody of “Change.” The anthem serves as a wake-up call to protect the planet, with Nova using her voice to encourage others—especially youth—to understand their role in reducing waste, conserving resources and preserving nature.

“People don’t realize how our everyday choices affect the planet,” Nova said. “This song is about waking up, looking around and doing something before it’s too late.”

The music video was produced in partnership with the Udhayam Foundation and features upcycled fashion by K Alexander. The styling, created through sustainable methods, reinforces the video’s environmental message. Production collaborators include vocal producer Chris Garcia, whose credits include Adele and Lana Del Rey, and music producer Killian Cruiser.

Directors Bennett and Lir, known for their work with talents such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Bella Hadid and Mark Ruffalo, said they were inspired to use their platform to support a rising generation of changemakers.

“As filmmakers, we believe in harnessing the power of storytelling to inspire the next generation,” they said. “This video goes beyond music—it’s a movement to empower young people to take a stand in protecting the planet they will one day inherit.”

The project also features support from environmental groups including Algalita and Long Beach Organics. The film’s premiere was held April 10, with Nova performing her song for a live audience of educators, activists and young climate leaders.

Sustainable fashion advocate Clementina Martínez-Masarweh, known as the “Sustainable Latina,” served as premiere event producer and executive producer. Martínez-Masarweh is a first-generation Mexican American artist and activist who founded DNA Sustainable Threds, and played a key role in passing California’s SB62 bill protecting garment workers’ rights.

She said the project is a way to show young people that creative expression—through fashion, film or music—can be a powerful vehicle for change.
