With her voice resonating across the globe, Hayla—born Hayley Williams—has rapidly become one of the most sought-after vocalists in dance music.
Originating from Liverpool, UK, Hayla has performed on stages worldwide, captivating thousands. She has graced major venues like BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, EDC Las Vegas, and Kx5’s record-breaking set at the LA Coliseum, which Pollstar deemed “the largest single-day concert headlined by an electronic music artist in North America.” While many fans first heard her through Kx5’s “Escape,” Hayla is far more than just a guest vocalist.
Hayla is a multifaceted artist—singer, songwriter, and producer—who has been developing her own project for over six years. As she continues to expand her skills, she is now also experimenting with producing music from scratch.
At her first Miami Music Week, Hayla made a significant impression, winning multiple awards for her 2023 projects and collaborations, marking the year as just the beginning of her ascent.
In 2024, the unstoppable artist clinched two EDMAs (Electronic Dance Music Awards) for “Vocalist Of The Year” and “Dance Song Of The Year.” The latter accolade was for “Where You Are,” her infectious collaboration with John Summit, which topped the charts. Further cementing her impact, EDM Maniac awarded her the prestigious “TikTok Track of the Year” for the same song, acknowledging its viral success on the platform.
But wait, there’s more! Nexus Radio recognized her as a leading force in the genre with the “Future Of Dance” award, highlighting her role in shaping the future of electronic dance music. The Level Awards, dedicated to celebrating excellence and innovation in dance music, spotlighted her groundbreaking achievements and diverse talents.
With her debut album (currently untitled) set to release this year, Hayla is establishing herself firmly as a solo artist. Her recent singles “Fall Again,” “Embers,” and the upcoming “Freefall,” complete with a music video, showcase her comprehensive love for music and solidify her standing in the industry.
Beyond her musical endeavors, Hayla is also passionate about using her platform to inspire and empower others. She is involved in various initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion in the music industry, advocating for more excellent representation and opportunities for underrepresented artists.
Hayla’s rapid rise in the dance music scene is a testament to her extraordinary talent, relentless drive, and unique artistic vision. With her recent win at the Nexus Radio Level Awards, she has firmly established herself as the future of dance music. As she continues to break new ground and captivate audiences worldwide, there is no doubt that Hayla’s star will only continue to ascend, lighting up the world of dance music with her exceptional artistry.
