​

Harley Di Nardo is an American singer-songwriter. He was born and raised in Westchester, New York. Belonging to a family of Italian folk singers, he was destined to make a career in the performing arts. 

His music lives somewhere between the heartland honesty of The Black Crowes, the swagger of The Rolling Stones, the melodic sensibility of Britpop, and the emotional storytelling of Tom Petty. His songs are rooted in real life—family, love, loss, hope, redemption, and the moments that define us.

Harley's journey began in New York before leading alternative rock bands Closer and White Light Motorcade, earning major-label releases, international recognition, and the opportunity to work alongside some of the music industry's most respected producers and executives. While the music business took unexpected turns, the songwriting never stopped.

Now, after years of life experience beyond the stage, Harley is writing the strongest music of his career. His songs reflect the perspective that only time can bring—raising children, enduring loss, starting over, and refusing to let go of the dream. Tracks like Here We Are, Hello Rock n Roll, LA-NY, and I Would For You capture universal emotions with memorable hooks and an unmistakably human point of view.

Harley's music isn't about chasing trends. It's about writing songs that matter—songs people can roll the windows down to, sing at the top of their lungs, relate, and carry with them long after the music ends. 

Alongside his music, Harley is also passionate about filmmaking. As a writer, actor, and storyteller, he is developing narrative films and visual projects that explore the same themes found in his songs—family, resilience, hope, and the extraordinary moments hidden within ordinary lives. For Harley, music and film are simply different ways of telling the same story.

Today, Harley is releasing new music independently, building a growing catalog of heartfelt rock and roll songs, and proving that great records aren't defined by age or time.
