Early life and background
Hardavinder Singh Sandhu, popularly known as Hardy Sandhu, was born on 6 September 1986 in Patiala, Punjab, India. Raised in the region, he lists Chandigarh as his hometown. Sandhu grew up playing cricket and developed musical interests early; his first public singing performance took place at his uncle’s wedding. He played cricket as a fast bowler for around twelve years and represented youth sides including Under-19 India and the Punjab Ranji team before an elbow injury curtailed his prospects in the sport.

Career
Sandhu transitioned from sports to music and began a professional singing career in 2012 with the single "Tequilla Shot." He rose to widespread recognition with the romantic song "Soch," which became a major milestone in his career and was later included in the 2016 Bollywood film Airlift. "Soch" also achieved a significant digital milestone by becoming the first Indian song to exceed 100 million views within five months of release.

Following that breakthrough, Sandhu released several popular tracks such as "Saah," "Naa Ji Naa," "Hornn Blow," "Backbone," "Yaar Ni Milyaa," "Naah," and "Kya Baat Ay." He expanded into acting with his film debut in Yaaran Da Katchup in 2014.

Sandhu’s work has been recognized at regional music awards. His song "Soch" earned multiple PTC Punjabi Music Awards in 2014, including honors for Most Romantic Ballad of the Year and Best Music Video. In 2017 he received a PTC Punjabi Music Award for Most Popular Song of the Year for "Horn Blow."

He follows Sikhism and is non-vegetarian. Among his personal interests are dancing and working out at the gym; he has said dance was a strength during school and practiced intensively to learn choreography for songs such as "Naah."

Before pursuing music professionally, Sandhu entertained music as a hobby while focussing on cricket. He has described early musical moments such as first stage performances at family events. He also expressed frustration when his song "Soch" was adopted for a Bollywood film release without his prior knowledge. Sandhu’s early life shows a blend of athletic and artistic pursuits; his cricket idols included Sachin Tendulkar and Brett Lee.

Latest updates
A reported incident involving authorities is mentioned in the available material: in February 2025, Sandhu was taken into custody by Chandigarh Police after performing live singing at a fashion show where organisers had secured permission only to play recorded music.
