Corzine

Born and raised in Minneapolis, Hayley Lewis (Corzine), first started writing songs on the ukulele and piano at the age of 15 and has since blossomed into a full-time singer, songwriter, and performer. After graduating with Honors in May 2019 with her Bachelor of Science in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO, she made the brave move across the country, back to her hometown, to plant her musical roots as Corzine.

Once settled in the Twin Cities, Hayley started out playing solo at events like Keg and Case farmer’s market and Open Streets Minneapolis, but soon, she began developing relationships with beloved local venues the likes of Acadia, Honey, Hook and Ladder, Part Wolf, and more. She met incredible musicians that would eventually become bandmates like Christian Wheeler, Zaq Baker, and her voice caught the attention of several other local bands – Cinematic Saints (f.k.a. Nokturnal North) and The Violet Nines.

Listening to a Corzine song is like getting a peek at the page of someone’s diary, or being a fly on the wall for their therapy session. Hayley uses songwriting as a way to process all of life’s experiences. he explores the nuances of all different kinds of relationships: romantic, platonic, familial, and dances around the possibilities of alternate endings - what if this went a different way?

She believes in the power of healing through shared connection. She says, “If I can do that through songwriting, it’s a win-win.”
