Hayley Warner

Date TBA

Australian singer-songwriter, Hayley Warner had hopes of becoming a professional athlete as a child, until being diagnosed with a rare disease and told she'd never walk again. She defied the odds when a secondhand drum set became her means of physical therapy, which helped her gain movement back in her legs & propelled her into the start of her musical career - picking up guitar, piano and writing. She has since released her debut single "Closure", which has independently amassed upward of 12 million streams, finding it's way to Spotify's "Viral Hits" & "Life Sucks," as well as gaining the attention of a number of fellow artists. She's recently began rolling out singles off of her upcoming debut EP 'I Think I Saw The Moon', receiving Playlisting on Spotify's "New Music Friday", "Fresh Finds" AU + NZ, Amazon Music's "Breakthrough Pop" and receiving coverage from Ones To Watch, Earmilk, Wolf in a Suit, Kings of A&R, etc. In addition to her artist career, Hayley is an acclaimed songwriter whose work has totaled upward of 5 billion streams to date - she has penned songs for other artists including Katy Perry, Dean Lewis, Chris Stapleton, Kelly Clarkson, Calum Scott, Tori Kelly, etc.
