Биография

Hailing from the land of cheesesteaks and Wawa (Philadelphia, PA), Holdyn Barder’s Jersey Shore anthem ‘Stone Harbor’ exploded in Summer 2022. Within a week of its release, NBC, FOX, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and more covered the song’s rapid success. Barder spent the rest of the entire summer promoting ‘Stone Harbor’ on an acoustic run throughout the South Jersey region. Barder’s song ‘How Do I Get There From Her’ also found similar success in 2022. The Sam Hunt-penned breakup ballad, produced by Tree Vibez Music songwriter Chris Loocke, was featured on CMT and garnered over a quarter of a million streams in its first few weeks. Collaborating with songwriters who’ve penned some of Barder’s role models’ biggest hits (for Luke Combs, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, et. al.), Barder finds himself surrounded by strong company. Barder’s music journey began after discovering a blue guitar-shaped paperclip next to his tennis bag in 2013. Taking it as a sign to pursue music, Barder ditched his original plan of becoming a physicist and moved to Nashville in 2019. He worked at Big Machine Label Group while completing a Music Business degree at Belmont University. Now pursuing a full-time music career of his own, and with aims of releasing a debut album in 2023, Barder looks forward to meeting new fans every single day. Hoping to sell stadiums in the future, Barder’s goals, sound, and identity are locked and loaded. Visit www.HoldynBarder.com to learn more about Holdyn.
