ABOUT the Music

BigNard Bernard!

Bernard Hardy, also known as BigNard, is a talented rap and hip hop artist from Hackensack, NJ. He has a unique sound that reflects his diverse background and showcases multiple cultures and musical styles. His nickname "BigNard" was given to him during his childhood and has stayed with him ever since.

BigNard discovered his love for music at the age of 14, when he started writing rap lyrics just for fun. However, it wasn't long before his talent was recognized, and a friend approached him to create a song. Inspired by some of his favorite artists like Big Daddy Kane, Cool G Rap, and Kool Moe Dee, BigNard honed his lyrical skills and elevated his songwriting ability to new heights.

His music is known for its positivity, and fans have compared his style to artists like Nas, Common, and Talib Kweli. His current single "Believe 2 Achieve" was written as a motivational song during his intense training for his first marathon.

BigNard's next single, "ProTest 2020," is inspired by the racial climate of 2020 and aims to raise awareness about racism and its confusion with prejudice. This powerful song will shine a light on this important issue and encourage unity among all humans.

In addition to his music, BigNard is also an author and is in the process of writing a new book titled "GOTiHe." This interdimensional epic explores the decisions we make and how they impact our lives from different perspectives and realities.
