Australian Artist Nardia and her band recently made waves at the International Blues Challenge (IBC), finishing in the top five out of nearly 400 acts from across the globe. Although they didn’t take home the grand prize, their journey from Australia to one of the world’s most prestigious blues competitions has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Nardia’s performance caught the attention of industry insiders, and as a result, she will soon return to the United States to work with the management she established through the competition.
Nardia is now preparing for the launch of her upcoming single, “Is It You’ which is the first song to be released from her new contemporary R&B album “Own Every Scar”.Teaming up with her new management from Stingerboy Entertainment and Grammy-winning producer Boo Mitchell at the legendary Royal Studios, the album promises to deliver a raw, deeply personal sound.
Before heading back to the U.S., Nardia is treating her home audience to a special single launch event on 13 April at the Brunswick Ballroom. The highly anticipated new track, “Is It You”, offers an intimate look into Nardia’s artistry, blending soulful melodies with blues-driven emotion. The event also celebrates the incredible journey that has brought Nardia to this point. Special guests Tanya George and Mayfield will also be performing that evening.
