Hayley Payne

Hi - I'm Hayley! I'm a 25-year-old country singer-songwriter from Kentucky. It might sound a little cheesy, but ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I wanted to be a singer. Growing up playing piano and performing in musical theater, I quickly found that the stage was my favorite place to be. I fell in love with country music at a young age as well. So, the first time I picked up a guitar, I knew exactly who and what I wanted to be.

Throughout the past 15 years, music has taken me on an exciting journey including performing across the country, recording and releasing original music, moving to Nashville, and opening for some iconic artists including Lee Ann Womack, Terri Clark, Pam Tillis, Suzy Bogguss, and Eddie Montgomery. I can't wait to see where else this dream takes me!

Some of my favorite things include dogs, anything with sugar in it, and laughing (really, really, loudly). But, the best way to get to know me is through my music. To me, country music is about telling stories. I hope you find some of your story in mine. Thank you for listening!
