Hadley's own story reads much like you'd expect from a young musical artist. She started performing for family and friends at the age of five, received her first piano at 12, and took music lessons for nearly 10 years. But, whereas most stories end right about here for the majority of fledgling singers, Hadley's was just beginning.
This musical curiosity led her to her first singing gig fronting a breakbeat group called Misfilter out of Atlanta. Hadley was with the trio for nearly four years, at which time she wrote the song "Want it All", which Canadian Breakbeat group Influenza remixed. It was then signed by Sinister Recordings in the U.K. and later released by breakbeat artist Baby Anne. She experienced another one of her career highlights when the group performed with Nina Hagen at Atlantas' Masquerade.
" Misfilter taught me a lot about life...sometimes you've got to turn the light out, to let the light in. "
Looking to broaden her experience and work with the industrys top DJs and producers, Hadley decided to take a chance on New York City and left Misfilter and, ultimately her past behind. It is here that the next chapter of her story truly begins. In New York for about four years now, Hadley has expanded her songwriting reach and is currently collaborating with Ultra Records Serge Devant, and the new electro/ghettotech production crew known as Bitcrushers (Gaby D. from Astro&Glyde, Amos Damon)
." It's always fun to mix it up, as a vocalist I can have the opportunity to work on a faster dance type song and get that energy out or I can slow down and work more on a soulful / hiphop type track..certainly I have to have a focus, but I tend to work with several different producers to keep me satisfied. I love collaboration and I love being able to express myself in different ways."
She's also learning the music business from the inside out as a Production Coordinator and Director of Licensing for Warcon Records, the innovative record label started by Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman.
