A South Carolina native, Hayden Joseph is no stranger to the Country Music scene. Inspired by the genre-bending melodies and lyrical depth of Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks, and Shania Twain, Hayden blends the sounds of modern country and mainstream pop music. His love for the genre started as soon as he could talk and has continued to blossom throughout his adult life. From childhood talent shows to college a ‘Capella groups (throughout a university stint in Nashville, TN) to live shows across the US, Hayden has captivated audiences with his southern charm, relatable lyrics, and distinct sound.

Hayden prides himself in the inclusivity of his lyrics, as an openly gay male pursuing a country music career. “When I write songs, they originate from experiences that are largely specific to personal trials, but I challenge myself to write them so that that they can be applied to varying circumstances, across many walks of life.” He strives to continue breaking industry barriers, both in terms of the music he makes, and the places from which he finds inspiration.

Hayden Joseph’s debut single, “Different,” was released in October 2019. His anticipated EP will follow in 2020.
