Hadley
Hadley is a powerful female singer/songwriter and also plays the 12 string. She writes in variety of genre from Blues to Rock to Pop and any mix of genre. Although she has her own band she would be open to collaberating with other musicians and writers if there is some musical chemistry. Hadley's vocal style has been compared to Melissa Etheridge, Janis Joplin, Joan Armatrading, Alison Moyette, and Johnette Napolitano. Hadley has her own unique sound and once heard you will recognise her anywhere.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Hadley's biography: Who wouldn't want to be a child of Gospel music? Today's music business abounds with artists who line up to make this popular claim. Hadley has the vocal chops to back her claim up. Born and raised in the deep south, Hadley started traveling with her church gospel choir group at the tender age of 13. Many a curious site was encountered over the next 5 years of touring. Congregations talking in "tounges", fire and brimstone Preachers, and fine church musicians. Some of it was good, some just strange, but the experience of touring lit a fire inside of her.
18 years old, off to college. Expansion, growth, discovery, and the meeting of like minds. Here Hadley honed her skills using musical composition as an expression of self. The touring which began at age 13 continued here as well.
Now, the question is, do you want us to lay out every excruciating detail of Hadley's musical emergence in this biography for you to read? We've read it, in variation, all before. It goes something like this....
Musically gifted from a young age. Inspired, driven, touring, possible recording contract, no contract in sight, more touring, hardship, heartache, hard work, more material for....(still with us?).
