Creating and playing music has always been a meaningful part of Hayden’s life, but recently his music has been progressively making its way into the lives of others. The 20 year old Independent Folk-Rock singer songwriter from St. Stephen, New Brunswick just released his first EP of original songs entitled Demons.
With lyrics that are thought provoking and personal, and a musical style that is both natural and accessible, Hayden has a way of making one feel at ease as he portrays the struggles and intuitions of self-understanding, love, and human nature. As a listener, one is drawn to observe what makes us human, and to ponder the value of accepting of our own personal weaknesses as well as our strengths.
As an integral part of this EP debut, Hayden has been collaborating with the talents of musician/songwriter/producer Raymond Funk. The two have a strong musical connection and are excited to have finished taking the vision of this project to completion. Recording and engineering was completed by the skilled John McLaggan of Porchlight Studios.
Used to sharing the stage, Raymond & Hayden were recently chosen as one of 8 artists from 60+ applicants to be showcased at Fest Forward in Fredericton this past fall. The annual event aims to “move New Brunswick music forward” and may be the single most important music festival for emerging New Brunswick musicians. From that showcase, Raymond and Hayden received an invitation to play at Fredericton’s spring music festival, Flourish, later this year adding to their previous appearances at other New Brunswick music festivals including Winter Warmer in St Andrew’s and Campobello Fogfest.
Hayden is excited for more opportunities to share his music in 2016 and beyond.
