Emerging from the heartland of the Midwest, Hailey Marie Stuerzenberger is a singer and songwriter who seamlessly weaves the soulful threads of R&B, with the vibrant tapestry of pop music. Her sound is a unique blend that resonates with the depth of classic soul and the fresh appeal of contemporary pop.
Born into a family of musicians, Hailey’s life has always been surrounded by melodies and harmonies. From a young age, she discovered her passion thanks to her father and mother, whose continual encouragement and inspiration led her to begin following in the musical footsteps of the previous generations in her family that came before her. Her voice a natural echo of the rich musical heritage she was born into.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Erykah Badu’s raw authenticity, Hiatus Kaiyote’s intricate rhythms, Skinshape’s vintage touch, Glass Animals’ psychedelic flair, and Alina Baraz’s ethereal vocals, she crafts songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Her lyrics tell stories of love, life, and the pursuit of happiness, while her melodies are a comforting embrace, familiar yet fresh. With every song, she continues to write, record, and perform, Hailey is not just sharing her music; she’s inviting us to find a piece of ourselves within it.
Hailey is married to her soulmate, fellow singer and songwriter, Evan Lee. The two frequently make music and perform together in their hometown. They have two children who were both born unassisted at home, and whose birth stories were intricately told and published in the book “Women of the Wild” by J. Dylynn Dais.
Her debut song “Old Time Religion” was featured in the soundtrack for the 2023 indie horror film “Isleen Pines”.
