Haley - Lead & Backup Vocals:

Hayley has been singing for about 10 years. She started out like many millenials, posting cover songs on YouTube from her college dorm room. From there, she progressed on to local open mics and soon after joined her first cover band. Since then Hayley has fronted a handful of casual cover bands while bouncing around south western Ontario. In 2016 Hayley found herself finally settling on the other side of the province, here in Ottawa. Hayley draws influence from a wide range of music across many different genres and decades. She is very excited to be able to rock out along with Starfire to a great variety of tunes!
