Hayley Thompson is a striking new talent in contemporary R&B and soul music. A Brooklyn, NY native, Hayley began studying classical piano at the age of four and served as the musical director of various gospel choirs in high school and college. Over the years, she has become a familiar part of the New York songwriting community through her membership in the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Guild of America (SGA) (where she was a member of the ProShop led by Ann Ruckert), as well as her tutelage under award-winning songwriter and coach Alex Forbes. She is also a songwriter for the Songs of Love Foundation , a non-profit organization dedicated to providing personalized songs for chronically and terminally ill children and young adults.
Hayley’s music includes both vocal and instrumental works ranging from Southern-influenced soul to deep house dance music. As part of ShakeLoose Productions, Hayley was responsible for several underground dance music favorites. More recently, she has received attention for her radio-friendly contemporary R&B tunes. Her song "On These City Blocks" won an honorable mention in the 2007 11th Annual Unisong International Songwriting Contest. As Creative Director of Brooklyn Girl Music, Hayley has also been sought after for her creative and contemporary musical arrangements and pre-production work for other songwriters.
“Hayley has the perfect blend of talent, skill, creativity and innovation…she brings several gifts to the table, such as her arranging and prolific song writing skills, and certainly, these gifts provided her with an intuitive edge and an innate ability to transform a good song into a great song.”
S. Sanviki Chapman Creative Director, Another Way Enterprises
