- the spiral at 1 a.m., the tiny victories no one sees, the moments where healing feels like progress and relapse in the same breath. Her music is what happens when the voice in your head takes the spotlight. Her sound is rooted in soulful pop, with jazz sneaking its way (quite loudly) into her phrasing and harmony.

Her sound lives somewhere between Sara Bareilles, Yebba, and Lawrence - conversational songwriting with unexpected chords and a wink of humor.

Her lyrics play with dichotomy - vulnerable but clever, anxious but grounded, fumbling but amused. They ponder life's absurdities, from wry observations to emotional confessions, with a hint of self-aware melodrama. Whether she’s belting or barely whispering, her voice always serves the story.

Hayley’s early career included a sync placement for her song “Tonight” on SyFy's Helix. From her indie-folk beginnings, her sound has evolved into the soulful, character-rich pop she performs today.

Now based in Los Angeles, she’s building The Messy Middle - a soul-pop project about the space between breakdown and breakthrough. The songs explore anxiety, self-worth, perfectionism, and the days when your brain is doing its absolute most. It’s not about hitting rock bottom or being fully healed - it’s about trying your damn best.
