Hugh Hardie started playing piano at the age of nine, but after learning scales and music theory based around classical music, he found himself naturally gravitating toward a jazz and soul style of playing. By 2014, he had been making his way into the scene DJ'ing and producing before catching the attention of Hospital Records; exclusively signing with the label in 2015 and delivering a handful of tracks that appeared on a number of the label's compilations. Hugh released his first album Colorspace in 2017. Earlier this year the Bristol-based producer released his 13-track second studio album, ‘Shadows & Silhouettes’. Hugh’s smooth sounds are inspired by the trademark sound of Hospital veterans like High Contrast, Nu:Tone and Logistics, all the way to neo-soul and R&B artists Eryka Badu and Musiq Soulchild.
