WHAT IT IS: As a hitmaker, HARDY has solidified a reputation as one of Nashville’s hottest new songwriters with over 40 cuts in the last year—including Florida Georgia Line’s “Simple,” Morgan Wallen f/Florida Georgia Line’s “Up Down” and Chris Lane’s “I Don’t Know About You”—and several big #1s. And that’s just part of the story. HARDY has his own style and substance, mixing country and rock into infectious anthemic hits that can’t be denied. He’s set to become one of country music’s cool new artists to watch, following the release of his first EP, which was helmed by award-winning producer Joey Moi. He’ll support that set by playing more than 80 shows to 1m fans by the end of summer 2019.
