With her new single “Hold On,” Australia’s powerhouse vocalist transforms pain into poetry and delivers a sound destined to move the world.
When Nardia Brancatisano steps onto a stage, something rare happens – time stops. Her voice, a fusion of fire and grace, pulls audiences into a world where vulnerability becomes strength and every note tells a truth.
Now, with her emotionally charged new single “Hold On”, Nardia captures the human spirit in its most fragile and resilient form. The track is a sweeping, soulful anthem of endurance – a reminder to stay anchored in love even when life tests every limit.
Following the international success of her breakout single “Is It You”, which hit #2 on the Urban Influencer R&B charts, “Hold On” marks the next evolution of a rising artist who’s redefining what modern soul can be.
“Hold On” – A Cinematic Soul Journey
Produced by Mat Robb and Choi Productions, and recorded in collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Boo Mitchell at the legendary Royal Studios in Memphis, “Hold On” carries the timeless DNA of R&B – but with Nardia’s unmistakable emotional gravity.
The record’s cinematic music video, featuring Izzy Lockett, captures a young dancer fighting for her dream in a high-stakes audition. Her movements mirror the song’s lyrical themes – the struggle to be seen, the beauty of holding on when the world says let go. It’s art that lives and breathes beyond sound, merging storytelling, dance, and music into a single heartbeat.
From Gospel Roots to Global Reach
Raised on gospel harmonies and storytelling, Nardia’s journey began in church – where she learned to sing from the soul, not the script. Over the years, that foundation has propelled her to international stages, including the 2025 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, where she earned a Top 5 finish among 400 global acts – and was the only female finalist.
She’s supported icons like Russell Morris and Tex Perkins, performed intimate sets in the VIP lounges for Beyoncé and Adele, and starred in the sold-out stage production Eulogy for a Genius, celebrating Ray Charles.
In every performance, Nardia’s presence commands – not through volume, but truth.
Beyond Music: A Movement of Healing and Truth
For Nardia, music is more than performance – it’s a lifeline. Her artistry is grounded in the belief that music can heal, unite, and empower.
Her upcoming album, Own Every Scar, carries that message further. Blending blues, soul, and contemporary R&B, it celebrates the power of imperfection – a sonic manifesto for self-acceptance and emotional resilience.
Through her label partnerships and management with Rocstar World, Nardia is building not just a fan base, but a community. Her growing influence across Australia, the U.S., and Europe is proof that authenticity still cuts through the noise.
The Moment Before the Moment
With “Hold On” now streaming on all major platforms and new music slated for release through 2026, Nardia’s momentum is undeniable. Behind the scenes, industry whispers already place her among the artists to watch in 2025 – a voice poised for global recognition and the kind of longevity reserved for the greats.
And while quiet talk of award recognition circles her latest work, Nardia’s focus remains steady: to connect, to inspire, and to move people with every note.
