Music
is a message; music is a mission; music is life. The gift of
the Most High, spiritually omnipotent to man, is to enable
us to grow and spread the seeds of His gift to all mankind. Nardo,
who hails from the twin island federation of St. Kitts-Nevis
in the West Indies , was born Bernardo S.E. Phipps to hard working
parents, whose nurturing and disciplined approach to child raring
allowed him to become the productive and talented man he is today.
Nardo
attended the St. Theresa's Convent High School , where
he became heavily involved in academics, sports and eventually music. NARDO
was also a talented teen winner from which he launched his musical career.
He enjoys promoting positive messages to people of all classes to understand
that despite our cultural differences, we are all one people.
NardoÕs love and aspiration
for music invokes the deepest sentiments of the heart and
soul. His lyrics highlight the core of social issues, the
expressions and concerns of the community and the glorification
of life itself. He continues to write heavily for
other artists in different musical genres since his exit
from the Jam Band Style musical scene. He is currently
working on developing a hybrid of two muscical styles.
Stay tuned.
