Hardie on stage during the Wiggle & Learn Big Show.
Ben Hardie (born October 8) is an Australian sound engineer, editor, producer, and songwriter who has worked for The Wiggles as both a production crew member on various video releases and television shows and as an audio engineer on various albums.
Hardie has been a key contributor to The Wiggles' creative and performance efforts for over 15 years. He began his journey with The Wiggles as a full-time video editor, earning numerous video credits for his work on DVDs and TV shows. His passion for sound led him to the studio, where he learned recording techniques from Alex Keller and began mixing audio for DVDs, TV series, and albums.
Expanding his skills further, Hardie transitioned to live sound, working on small Dorothy the Dinosaur tours for several years. After leaving his full-time role, he became a freelancer, focusing on TV studio filming and eventually joining The Wiggles on tour.
While touring, Hardie started playing guitar and singing with The Unusual Commoners since 2023. This experience paved the way for him to perform guitar on stage during the Wiggle & Learn Big Show.
Hardie's diverse talents and contributions across multiple areas have made him an integral part of The Wiggles' success.
Outside of working for the Wiggles, Hardie has served as a Digital Marketing Specialist for Xventure and luxury fashion brand Bulgari and as Senior Editor and Producer for Postbox Studios (now known as CoBOX). He has also done freelance production and editing for the Seven Network.
In 2021, he established the video production and photography company Hiway Digital.
