Karrie Hayward

When you blend the rich, soulful vocal tones with the vibrant, percussive timbre of a guitar, you get Karrie Hayward - a pop infused, indie-edge, kaleidoscope of melodic colours. After recently completing a national tour scaling the Sunshine Coast to Melbourne, Karrie released her debut EP titled ‘Ephemeral’.
 
Growing up in the tropical environment of the Whitsunday’s, this songstress spontaneously decided to find the ultimate ratio of adventure and music by moving further down the coast. Buying a van and turning it into a home on wheels, travelling solo, playing shows all the way from Mackay to Byron Bay collecting inspiration and now bases herself in the Sunshine Coast. 

After settling down into Brisbane early 2017, Karrie headed to Blind Boy Studios at the Gold Coast to record some tracks with producer, engineer and session musician, Brad Hosking. The EP is formed of an array of progressive stories, delving into weaving sonic hooks, tangible body percussion and radiant bass grooves.

The EP, Ephemeral, received a number of spins on respected Australia Radio including weeks with Roots N All on Triple J. Whilst sitting in the Top 5 of the iTunes Singer-Songwriter charts, the EP became the feature album, album of the week with The AU Review.

Karrie is set to release new music soon with more national touring in sight for 2019.

“I love the solid pop magic that Karrie creates. I feel like she should be filling stadiums and invest in confetti cannons.”
