HAYLA’s majestic, powerful voice has been heard all throughout the world of music. But now after performing her first headlining set at the end of 2024, she’s found her true home: as a solo artist.
2024 was surely HAYLA’s biggest year yet. She released her debut solo album, DUSK, which garnered cover slots on revered Spotify editorial playlists like Mint, and her album single, “Alone,” was named “Hottest Record” by Arielle Free on BBC Radio 1.
Last year she also went Gold via “Where You Are,” her smash-hit co-write with John Summit, she earned a Grammy nomination via “Escape,” her collaboration on deadmau5 and Kaskade’s LP, Kx5, and she wrote new collaborations with dance giants like MEDUZA (“Another World”), Kygo (“Without You”), and another for Summit (“Shiver”), going on to perform these songs on iconic stages including Coachella, Madison Square Garden, and The O2 Arena in London.
This year, she built on this upward momentum with her first solo headlining tour, traveling to several cities in the United States to helm storied venues such as The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and Webster Hall in New York. These smaller rooms gave her the chance to create a deeper connection with an audience that was there just to see her. Standing front and center, feeding off the energy of the crowd, sharing her most personal music to date.
“The audiences have been so accepting of me. I feel like I belong in the spaces I’m in,” HAYLA shares.
