It’s easy to be on-trend but difficult to create one. JD Hardyis one such example who went against the trends to create his own identity in the music industry. The music sensation from Bakersfield did not choose to imitate but rather chose to stick to his
roots. He realized early in his career that he had to be distinguished in this extremely saturated industry to be noticed. He was fearless to follow his own style and that has earned him a huge fan base.
To date, JD Hardy has several hit singles and albums to his name. His recent release
“Country Saves” became a smash hit across all digital platforms. The album released in August 2017. It earned him appreciation from his fans across the world. JD is now excited to launch his next album “Killer”. Produced by Dean Miller in Nashville. He is optimistic about this project and believes it will enthrall his fans like never before.
“Killer” will present a series of electrifying tracks. The songs are based on cross-genre music that merges the soft undertones of country music with the high notes of rock. It is one of its kind and the signature style of JD Hardy. He is so popular for his unique composition that his fans can recognize his voice and music style instantly.
JD developed his signature style from a very young age. He owes his natural talent to his genes. Hailing from a family of musicians where his father and grandmother were country recording artists, JD found his calling at a young age. Artists like Hank Williams Jr. Waylon Jennings, and country music star, Merle Haggard became his biggest
inspiration. Growing up, JD steeped himself in country music and that has shaped his unique style.
As he reached adulthood, JD discovered his extraordinary voice which is unparalleled in the industry. He was initially noticed by the legendary producer Ray Ruff who inked a contract with JD for Sony Nashville in 2005. Within a couple of months, after JD started working on this project, it came to a halt with the sudden death of Ray Ruff. JD’s world turned upside down as his only hope to penetrate the music industry seemed to fade away. After a while, he decided to restart and soon signed another deal with Castle
Records for his self-titled debut album. It became his launching pad and JD has never looked back.
Known for his high energy and charismatic stage presence, JD earned the opportunity to work with several popular names in the music industry, such as Mark Chesnutt, Trace Adkins, Easton Corbin, Swan Brothers, Randy Houser, and Tyler Farr. Besides musical pursuits, he is also philanthropic at heart. He believes in giving back to his community
where he traces his roots.
JD Hardy has made several collaborative performances with famous artists to volunteer for fundraisers for social causes. So far, he has helped raise more than $100K for organizations like the American Cancer Society, Relay For Life, Band Of Brothers, Welcome Home Military Heroes, and Saint Jude. He has plans to continue producing exciting songs for his fans and to continue his philanthropic endeavours.
He wants to encourage novice artists in the industry to follow their style instead of chasing the trends.
