Haley Woolbright

Haley Woolbright is a singer-songwriter and independent artist based out of St. Louis, Missouri—creating songs infiltrated with a blend of acoustic, indie, and pop.  Her appeal lies within the honesty and authenticity to which she fills her lyrics.  In 2021, Haley released her hit single, Long Game.  Long Game has been played on dozens of radio stations worldwide, and was named “Song of the Year'' for 2021 on Markskin Radio.  In 2022, Haley released 2 singles; Chosen, a retro/modern synth-pop song, and Minivan, a pop-rock song that chronicles a college road trip across the country. Haley is also pursuing opportunities to write for other artists, as well as tv and movies.

Music started out as a closet hobby for Haley, serving as an outlet for creativity and escape.  Self-taught on guitar, Haley began playing at 17 years old and soon started experimenting with singing.  Too embarrassed to share, singing and guitar remained a secret passion, but it was not until her junior year of college that she began to gain the confidence to share her passion.  Late 2017 consisted of frequenting open mics all around town and gaining credibility for her talent.  Writing had always been a hobby and strength of Haley’s growing up, so once music was involved at the onset of learning to play guitar she started dabbling in songwriting.  Songwriting is what opened the floodgates to Haley’s musical endeavors, and it resulted in her beginning to make a name for herself around St. Louis by playing shows and booking any gig thrown her way.  She has released a variety of musical projects since 2017, including her first full length album Hindsight, which was recorded at Sawhorse Studios in STL with local producer Chris Turnbaugh, and released in November 2019.  Lyrically the album expresses the difficulties of heartbreak, and sonically favors acoustic elements.  Then after getting married in 2020, Haley released another single called Long Game, which served as the perfect contrast to Hindsight.  Inspired by the old school Soul and Motown sounds, Long Game added a modern pop flare, and its lyrics were redeeming in the name of love.  In 2022, Haley began exploring her sound and refining it; her single Chosen captures that exploration well.  Chosen is an upbeat, modern synthpop tune that gives off a light and poppy feel while maintaining the integrity of its lyrics.  Most recently she released Minivan, a pop-rock song that chronicles a college road trip across the country, and embraces a fun, youthful sound with a driving beat.

"My goal is to keep it real and authentic with any endeavor I pursue; sharing my heart through music is my main avenue for that goal.  I take what life throws at me and I make sense of it through song, writing about anything and everything that generates inspiration.  I love experiences and I love people, so the cool thing about music is you can connect with a total stranger or someone completely different from you when it comes to shared experiences, and I love using music to reach people and connect."
