Hayla (16 and Over)

HAYLA has delivered her majestic, powerful voice all throughout the world of music. Growing up in Liverpool and immersed in sound from an early age, her relationship with music feels instinctive rather than deliberate. One of her earliest and most formative influences was Whitney Houston's Bodyguard album, a record that left a lasting emotional imprint and set the tone for her deep connection to vocal expression and feeling-led music. From performing in bands around the UK and teaching singing lessons, to taking the stage at the Hollywood Bowl with deadmau5 and closing out Coachella, HAYLA's journey has been one of quiet, unstoppable momentum. She is now one of electronic music's most recognisable and in-demand voices. Her GRAMMY nomination came via "Escape," her collaboration on deadmau5 and Kaskade's celebrated LP Kx5, and she became a Gold-certified artist through "Where You Are," her smash co-write with John Summit. Both tracks alongside Summit collaboration "Shiver" reached #1 on SiriusXM's BPM, giving her the top song three years running. She has since added further Dance Radio #1s to her name: "Without You" with Kygo, "Another World" with MEDUZA, and the operatic "In My Arms" with ILLENIUM, which features on his #1 Billboard Dance Album chart project ODYSSEY alongside collaborations with Ellie Goulding and Ryan Tedder. Her collaboration with multi-platinum pop icon Nelly Furtado, "FADED" released via Casablanca Records is a haunting, cinematic dancefloor anthem that melds electronic atmosphere with emotional storytelling, and earned HAYLA a nomination for Best Collaboration at the Electronic Dance Music Awards (EDMAs). As a solo artist, HAYLA released her debut album DUSK (Restless Minds Music/Believe UK), earning a cover slot on Spotify's Mint playlist and a "Hottest Record" accolade on BBC Radio 1. Among its standout singles, "Visions Of You" reached #2 on Mediabase's Most Played chart at dance radio in 2025 and broke into the top 10 on Billboard Dance…
