Nona Marvisa Gaye (born September 4, 1974 in Washington, D.C.) is a singer, model, and screen actress, and the daughter of soul music legend Marvin Gaye.

Born to an African-American father and an Irish/Afro-Cuban/Greek mother (Nona's grandfather was Cuban jazz great Slim Gaillard), Nona released her first album, Love for the Future, on Atlantic Records in 1992, at age 18. The album featured her only hit, "I'm Overjoyed". She then spent the next couple of years under the guidance of funk-R&B pioneer Prince until around 1995.

Nona has found her biggest success as an actress co-starring in movies including Ali, The Matrix Revolutions and The Polar Express. She is currently finishing up her second album, which will be her first musical release in nearly 13 years.

Nona appeared alongside other artists to re-record and release her father's single, "What's Going On" for AIDS research in 2001.
