Hayley Oliver
was born in south
London, the youngest
of five girls. At
the age of eleven,
Hayley was nominated
to sing solo at the
Royal Albert Hall,
and this led to her
making her first
record (Saint of the
Orphans), and
subsequent
television
appearances on "The
Wide Awake Club",
and "Going Live"
Her success at such
an early age made
Hayley want to have
a career in music,
but first she had to
finish her
education. She
studied at the Royal
National College for
the Blind in
Hereford for 4 years
where she took
Diplomas in business
administration.
Hayley then studied
at the University of
Glamorgan , gaining
a BA Honours Degree
in Business Studies.
In 2002 Hayley
entered, and won,
the Joe Pasquale's
"Curtain Call"
talent showcase,
which has led to
many other concert
appearances since
then.
In 2006 Hayley
released her first
self-produced Album
“Two Hearts” Which
includes some of her
favourite classic
country songs as
well as the title
track “Two Hearts
Dancing as one”,
Written by two of
UK’s finest country
music writers Sue
Bennett and Lorna
Flowers. The CD has
been receiving great
reviews and
international radio
airplay, winning
Hayley the Evy of
Canada Award for
Best New Artist
2007.
Hayley has been
working with
Nashville Writers
and Producers on
Brand new material,
and released her
second solo album “I
can still dream” in
October 2009.
When you listen to
Hayley sing, you
will be struck by
her powerful and
beautiful voice.
Although she has the
kind of vocal
ability that can
lend itself to any
type of music,
Hayley's first love
has always been
country music, and
her repertoire
includes the newest
country songs. She
is at home singing
upbeat numbers and
love ballads, and
has a way of making
those sad songs
sound even sadder.
Hayley's perfect
pitch and vocal
clarity, coupled
with that rare
ability to deliver a
song in a way that
touches the heart of
the listener, is
something that
doesn't come along
every day. Her
talent is quite rare
and unique |
