This week's MTV PUSH artist is Debi Nova. This L.A.-via-Costa Rica singer is heating up the early summer with her breezy, catchy single "Drummer Boy," a fun, infectious hit of Latin-flavored dance pop that reflects her world-music roots and her latest album, Luna Nueva. Her earthy sound, which Debi herself describes as "tropical-soul," has caught the attention of Mark Ronson, Sean Paul, Black Eyed Peas and Ricky Martin, all of whom she's collaborated with.

Get to know Debi Nova in this exclusive interview, and see how her music reflects her language and world view. Plus, watch her perform "We Were Young," and check out her "Drummer Boy" video.
