A Preface Into My Music:
Ever since I was little, music has been a part of me. On my 10th birthday, I got a guitar, and from there I started teaching myself and slowly finding my own sound. Over the years, I’ve sung in school productions, joined a school band, and even competed in the Rockshop Bandquest a couple of times. Now that I’m older, music is still woven into my everyday life—I sing and play guitar daily, and I’ve even started sharing my passion on YouTube. What began with covers has grown into writing my own lyrics and creating melodies that carry pieces of my story.
Will I be the next Taylor Swift? Probably not—and honestly, I don’t really want to be. For me, it’s never been about chasing fame. Music has always been my way of expressing myself—the good, the bad, and everything in between. I love how it creates connection, cutting across language, culture, and background. At the end of the day, we’re all human, we all feel deeply, and music is one of those rare things that reminds us we’re not alone in those feelings. That’s why I write and sing: not just to express myself, but to connect with others who might feel the same.
And what’s better than bonding and finding comfort through something as universal as music? For me, it’s never been about fame or chasing perfection, but about honesty. Every lyric I scribble down in a notebook, every melody I hum absentmindedly, it all comes from a real place inside me. Music has always been my safe space—the place where I can let out the words I sometimes can’t say out loud, or capture the feelings I don’t fully understand yet.
Over time, I’ve realized that even the simplest song can mean so much to someone else. A line that I thought was just me venting might end up being the exact words someone else needed to hear. That’s the beauty of it: we’re all just humans trying to make sense of our own stories, and sometimes, those stories overlap in the most unexpected ways.
So whether I’m singing a cover of a song I love or sharing something I wrote late at night when my thoughts wouldn’t let me sleep, my hope is always the same—to connect, to comfort, to inspire, and maybe even to remind someone that they’re not alone. Because at the end of the day, music is more than just sound. It’s a thread that weaves us together. And if my little pieces of music can be a part of that bigger tapestry, then I feel like I’ve done something worth sharing.
Much love & God bless,
Haylley
