Haley Faye Rosenthal weaves her art into a poignant reminder that the trajectory of your life isn’t determined by what you battle behind closed doors. With music rooted in storytelling and the art of survival, the NYC based singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor glows in a similar sphere to artists like BLÜ EYES, Lizzy McAlpine, Lewis Capaldi, Olivia Rodrigo, and Kelly Clarkson. With stunning vocals, powerful lyrics, and an inspiring backstory, the Florida native has carved her unique niche within Indie Pop and stands as a rising artist to keep your eye out for.
At 16 years old, Haley nearly passed away from Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, (SJS/TEN) a rare disease contracted from medical negligence. During her treatment, she was told she wouldn’t be able to perform again. Instead of accepting what the doctors said, she looked at them and said, “watch me.” Her illness has never stopped her from making her dreams part of her reality. After completing her undergraduate degree from Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music, she moved to NYC to pursue her now quickly budding career.
Haley's latest release, “Painting Pictures,” coupled with her TikTok viral hits “Healed (As I’ll Get)” and “Me Attacking Me” (which was in contention for the 2024 GRAMMY® Awards for “Best Pop Solo Performance”) exemplifies her dedication to using her platform to bring attention to chronic illnesses, offer solace to immunocompromised individuals, and inspire a global spirit of perseverance.
