This is who I am.
Take it or leave it.
It's not a secret.
This is who I am . . .
In an industry of prepackaged and one-dimensional pop acts, Haley Pharo is quickly emerging as a versatile singer/songwriter with exceptional talents and wisdom beyond her years. Equally at home whether onstage or in the studio, Haley delivers soulful and strikingly honest songs laced with an upbeat message of self-respect.
Born on September 26, 1988 in Dallas, Texas, Haley immediately gravitated to both writing and performing. She began singing at age 7 and, by age 11, had penned her first song, "Love Saves Us All", which she later produced with Black Eyed Peas drummer Keith Harris. At the age of 12, she wrote and recorded Light at the End of the Tunnel with Justin Timberlake vocalist Raab Stevenson.
For Haley, all the world is indeed a stage. By the time she was a teenager, she had already performed not only in North and South America, but in Europe and Asia as well.
These early accomplishments instilled in Haley a discipline and work ethic thats resulted in hundreds of lyrics and a catalogue of more than 20 solo tracks, including songs co-written with multi-platinum producer and songwriter Veit Renn, Matt Scannell of Vertical Horizon and members of the Bucky Johnson Band, the musical force behind The Black Eyed Peas.
Outside of the recording studio, she consistently strives to become a more skilled and diverse performer, employing the training of voice coaches like Seth Riggs and Dave Stroud and famed choreographer Roger Lee.
Haley is constantly at work on some aspect of her careerwhether writing, performing or recording. In addition to her growing number of solo tracks, she recently sang backup on the yet-to-be-released Michael Jackson song "From the Bottom of My Heart". She spent much of the summer of 2006 in Los Angeles, where she recorded two tracks written with Will-I-Am of The Black Eyed Peas and produced by Bucky Johnson Band drummer Keith Harris.
Haley counts among her musical influences classic singers like Eva Cassidy and Whitney Houston, acclaimed singer/songwriters such as Carole King and Pat Benatar and newer stylesfrom the sexy soul of Christina Aguilera to the piano rock of Something Corporate.
