At the age of thirteen Ardis moved from the West Indian island Dominica to settle down in Sweden.
Growing up on Motown and gospel-influenced American music, Ardis started writing songs and lyrics.
[1] The Swedish audience first got acquainted with Ardis after the release of her version of the classic "Ain't Nobody's Business".
However, Ardis' big break was "Shotgun", a song which was chosen as the theme on the soundtrack to the Swedish film Vendetta.
[9][10] After that film track, she withdrew from the public eye and only appeared as a guest vocalist on Commonly Unique with The Real Group[11][12] in 2000 and Merit Hemmingsons album En Plats I Skogen in 2002.
