Michael Hardy, known professionally as HARDY, is a rising star in the contemporary country music scene and a native of Philadelphia, Mississippi. HARDY first made a name for himself as a songwriter, penning hits for well-established artists such as Florida Georgia Line, Chris Lane, and Blake Shelton, among others. His skillful blending of classic country elements with a modern, rock-infused edge allowed him to swiftly transition to the spotlight as a performing artist.

HARDY's individual career took off with the release of his EP, "THIS OLE BOY," and the full-length debut album, "A ROCK," which fortified his position in the industry. Known for his gritty vocals and authentic storytelling, HARDY has continued to build his growing discography with bold and introspective tracks. His most recent releases, like "The Better Me" and "the mockingbird & THE CROW," showcase the dynamic duality of his music, where he effectively juxtaposes the softer, vulnerable aspects of country with the raw, unapologetic energy of rock. Collaborations with artists like Lainey Wilson on "wait in the truck" and teaming up with Morgan Wallen and Chris Shiflett for "Goin’ Nowhere" have further highlighted his versatility and appeal as both a solo artist and a sought-after co-performer in the country music sphere.
