HARDY originally comes from Philadelphia, Mississippi. After high school, he moved to Tennessee and kickstarted his music career by writing songs for artists such as Florida-Georgia Line and Morgan Wallen. Hardy dropped a couple of EPs before releasing his debut album, A Rock, in 2020.

Notably, HARDY’s sound has evolved over the past few years, from being fairly straightforward modern country to blending in much heavier elements. He’s even teamed up with heavier bands like Beartooth and Bilmuri, and brought Jeremy McKinnon from Florida hardcore band A Day To Remember in to do guest vocals on “Radio Song,” from his sophomore album, The Mockingbird & the Crow. 

His most recent single is “Rockstar,” a seeming homage to Nickleback’s hit tune of the same name, as well as an exploration of his journey from a Mississippi kid to a full-fledged rock star.
