From the sidelines of her childhood I’ve watched Haley Grey grow from a vibrant, bright-eyed baby to a beautiful young woman with an enthralling singing voice. Now, at 18, she is coming into her own; headed to Hampshire College in the fall and celebrating the release of three brand new songs: Sleepless Eyes in the City, My Boy and All Enough for Me...
Haley is a jazz singer/songwriter from San Francisco. She started singing at a young age and began classical training at 13. After five years — wanting to integrate her passion for creative writing with singing—she switched focus to jazz and wrote her first recorded EP.
“Restating old truths and adapting them to the age, applying them in ways they were never before applied, stirring up emotion by the inherent power of narrative, visual image and music, artists crack the door to the morally necessary future.” ~ John Gardner, from his book, The Art of Fiction: Notes on Craft for Young Writers, 1983

It took me a moment to realize this is the Haley I had known since she was three with the quick, smart, quirky sense of humor who made me smile and laugh. But in listening to her music I also realized she is equally a Haley I did not know but happily found deep, thoughtful and reflective.
