problems in paradise

Ever since she can remember, Utah-based artist Ardy has been writing stories, creating fantasy worlds, & bringing them to life through vibrant visual artwork & emotionally charged songwriting. At 12, she underwent her first studio experience with her father, Ryan Stewart, & sang on his instrumental piano record “One Journey,” & later recorded fan-favorite cover “Scarborough Fair” on his album, Celtic Spell. Now 22, Ardy is making her debut in the indie pop world with her first album, Problems in Paradise. In collaboration with her producer Nate Pyfer, the record creates a unique sonic atmosphere featuring elements of art-pop, indie, & Americana. November of 2023, she appeared on grammy-nominated electronic producer Kaskade’s sophomore Christmas record. Featured on “White Christmas,” her vocals can be recognized by their dreamy & ghostly feel. The month following, she performed songs alongside Kaskade & select vocalists for his first ever live show at The Orpheum Theatre in LA.

Ardy’s songs are easy to connect with on an intimate level. Having lived abroad in the French countryside, the bilingual singer takes a unique & nostalgic look on life. She writes from a dramatic internal perspective, often fondly about the duality of life & the pain of love & loss. Sincere lyrics & vulnerable vocal performances are what make her music honest. Whether you enjoy an upbeat dance track or an enchanting storytelling piece, Ardy has something to appeal to your unique world.
