Hardy is a recent winner of the ASCAP Young Composer award, and the new record features a three part original suite, “On the Verge," “Patience" and “Soaring", depicting the artist's personal journey as a jazz musician living and working in New York City.

In July of 2002, Julie was one of two vocalists in the nation selected to attend the prestigious Jazz Academy Snowmass in Aspen, Co. directed by Christian McBride. That following March of 2003, Hardy attended the Betty Carter Jazz Ahead, held at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. She was one of four vocalists chosen internationally to attend and have her composition performed at the Kennedy Center and broadcasted live on-line across the world.

In June of 2003, four days after moving to New York City, Julie recorded her debut CD, “A Moment's Glance". This record was released on the Fresh Sound New Talent label out of Barcelona, Spain in April 2005 making Hardy the only American vocalist on its roster at that time. Hardy is currently the only vocalist on the World Culture Music label.

For the recording of The Wish Hardy brought together an amazing lineup of musicians who are causing a major creative impact on today's jazz scene, including Ben Monder (guitar), Jaleel Shaw (alto saxophone), Sam Sadigursky (saxophones, clarinet), Randy Ingram (piano), Matt Clohesy (bass), and Kendrick Scott (drums).

With the release of “The Wish", Julie Hardy joins a roster of some of the world's premier talents, including drummer Kendrick Scott, guitarist Mike Moreno, and trombonist Nick Vayenas on the New York based label, World Culture Music.
