Burlington, Ontario country singer/songwriter Hayley Verrall is a fresh young artist who has quietly but quickly been edging her way into the Canadian country music community over the past couple years with her roots and contemporary inspired original music.
While Hayley has been honoured to present her original music opening shows for, working with and alongside other iconic Canadian musicians, she reveals her true motivation for songwriting:
“Writing is part of my day and comes from daily inspiration, from whatever I’m doing at the time. I try to write music about me, my experiences, the experiences of my friends and family and those I meet in my everyday life. My entire music career came about through a real life experience which is reflected in my Singing for Smiles story. I’m always on the look out for a good story that says who I am but which also feels like it could be someone else’s story too. I’ve written many songs about life, love and the world, and it’s my hope that people will be inspired or encouraged if they are going through the same things.”
An internationally and locally awarded artist, Hayley’s passion for performing and for people has not gone unnoticed and she was most recently named the 2020 inductee to the Burlington Performing Arts Centre Hall of Fame:
“Being inducted into the Burlington Performing Arts Centre Hall of Fame is an unbelievable feeling. I am so grateful for the ongoing support that both BPAC and Burlington have provided to me and my music. I feel completely blessed to be a Burlington artist and am ecstatic that BPAC recognizes my worth as such.”
Hayley’s new single ‘Stir Crazy’, co-written with Angela Siracusa and produced by Dan Stobbs of MNOW Records, subtly touches on the persistent theme that restrained containment is no way to live. It matches the force of her previous release and once again brings together those real life experiences and relatable emotions with an incredible youthful energy.
