The name "Hardstar" was originally coined by JD Fortune, the lead singer of INXS. The world-wide debut of the phrase was made through a personalized t-shirt Fortune had worn on the reality show series, Rockstar: INXS. I personally took to the name for quite a long time, just completely falling in love with it. The word may have originally been Fortune's own creativity, but now the name has a special meaning for me, too. The phrase JD mentioned to explain the word in a September '05 interview was to "Fly hard, hardstar," and I guess maybe in life that's what I plan to do.
