Lovers of music and reality TV will surely be in heaven over Netflix's latest series. Hitmakers takes viewers behind the curtain (and into the studio) as 12 successful songwriters spend weeks living together, trying to come up with the next smash single.

Of the cast, there are only a couple of duos, one of which is producing pair NovaWav. The group is comprised of longtime friends and collaborators Brittany “Chi” Coney and Denisia “Blu June” Andrews, and, now that they've starred in the show, fans are curious about their net worth.

NovaWorth Has Earned Millions From Making Music

Viewers of the show will know that, within NovaWav, Chi is primarily the producer while Blu often cuts the vocals for their tracks. The two women have been working together for the better part of two decades, and their work has proven to be quite lucrative. As reported by Celebs Unfolded, NovaWav's net worth has continued to steadily increase over the past several years, currently putting them at a total of over $10 million.

NovaWav's Recent Estimated Net Worth:

  • 2021 → $6.07M
  • 2022 → $7.08M
  • 2023 → $8.09M
  • 2024 → $9.1M
  • 2025 → $10.1M

The rest of the Hitmakers cast certainly shows a reverence for the producing powerhouses. At one point, Chi and Blu even bring out one of their Grammy Awards trophies and place it on the table in front of them, hoping it will serve as inspiration for their studio session.

NovaWav Has A Ridiculously Impressive Resume

If their net worth seems staggering, it is worth noting that the duo has essentially been working nonstop since 2009. By their own admission, their biggest achievement to date is receiving a Grammy for their work on "Cuff It," a single which was featured on Beyonce's 2022 album Renaissance.

It's likely that fans have listened to several of the pair's other songs without realizing it was their work. Their other credits include everyone from Rihanna to Ariana Grande to Kehlani to Kendrick Lamar.

Hitmakers is a reality TV series on Netflix that dives deep into the high-stakes world of songwriting and music production. Set in a competitive format, the show brings together a diverse group of up-and-coming songwriters from around the globe, all vying for the chance to break into the music industry. Each episode follows contestants as they craft and pitch their original songs to a panel of established music producers, recording artists, and A&R executives. These judges bring a wealth of industry experience and aren’t afraid to offer blunt, constructive feedback. The series doesn’t just focus on the performances—it also showcases the behind-the-scenes moments of creative struggle, mentorship, and collaboration. By offering a real-world look at what it takes to create a hit song from scratch, Hitmakers sets itself apart from more traditional talent competitions.

As the competition advances, so do the emotional and professional stakes. Contestants are not only judged on vocal performance or charisma but on their ability to write commercially viable, emotionally resonant music under tight deadlines and pressure. Viewers watch as raw lyrics evolve into fully produced songs, often with the help of celebrity guest producers or surprise collaborations. The format includes weekly eliminations, studio challenges, and live showcases that culminate in a finale where the top contestant earns the opportunity to have their winning song professionally released by a major artist or label. Streaming on Netflix, Hitmakers blends the personal journey of each songwriter with the broader reality of today’s music business—highlighting how rare, and rewarding, true originality can be.
