Lexie Hayden:

Drawing inspiration from all corners of country music, ranging from royalty like Dolly Parton and Sheryl Crow, to younger trailblazers such as Maren Morris and Kacey Musgraves, Virginia-born singer-songwriter Lexie Hayden has always sought to tap one particular attribute that these influences embody to her: honesty.

Between both Apple Music and Spotify, Hayden's music has garnered over four million total streams. Her songs have been showcased on various playlists, including "All New Country," "New Music Friday Country," "Fresh Finds," "New Boots," "Country Risers" and "CMT Next Women of Country."

As an independent artist, Hayden has had ten songs (and counting) featured on national radio via the Women of iHeartCountry show that airs on all 150+ iHeartCountry stations. Hayden was also named the National Spotlight Artist of the Week three times on the Top 30 Countdown with Bobby Bones. Besides being an artist, Hayden prides herself on being a songwriter as well. She co-wrote Priscilla Block's single, "My Bar," that went to country radio and broke top 25 in 2022. Hayden's songs have been featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Tamron Hall Show, The CMT Awards, The Yara Shahidi Show, The Chicken Sisters on Hallmark and ESPN.

Hayden's debut self-funded full length album "Counting Rainbows" is available everywhere now. The record is a blend of a few genres, paying a nod to the 70s/80s, while still channeling the country music that is coming out of Nashville today.
