About Hayley Mae
Hayley Mae is an LA-based singer-songwriter whose soulful pop sound blends conversational storytelling, emotional honesty, and self-aware humor. With jazz woven into her phrasing and harmony, her music plays with dichotomy: vulnerable but clever, anxious but grounded, fumbling but amused. A Berklee College of Music graduate, she moves from intimate whispers to resonant belts, always letting her voice serve the story.
Her 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.
She is currently developing The Messy Middle, a soul-pop project exploring anxiety, self-worth, perfectionism, and life's absurdities. It's about the space between breakdown and breakthrough, where healing is rarely linear and sometimes all you can do is try your damn best.
