Hailed by Entertainment Tonight as “a rising star of the indie music” singer- songwriter Hayley Taylor has an unmistakable new voice full of passionate intensity. With songs recently featured on “How I Met Your Mother,” “Privileged,” “Heartland,” “LonelyGirl15,” and several other television shows and films, Taylor is quickly making a name for herself.

Her new album (and debut full-length CD), One Foot in Front of the Other, is set for release in Spring 2009. The album was produced by Dan Romer (Ingrid Michaelson), Eric Robinson (Matt Nathanson), and Ofer Moses. It features performances by an all-star cast of players, including Michael Chaves (John Mayer), Ben Peeler (Alexi Murdoch), Adrienne Woods (Josh Radin), Elliot Jacobson (ingrid Michaelson), and Marshall Altman (Kate Voegle).

Taylor’s debut EP, Waking, produced by AJ Mogis (Saddlecreek, Criteria), received rave reviews worldwide and was nominated by the LA Music Awards for 2006 “Best Independent Album of the Year.”

Pitchfork Media describes her as “refreshingly unassuming,” and Earcandy says she is “at once reminiscent of Rachael Yamagata and evocative of a female Ryan Adams.” Taylor’s songs blend rock and folk sensibilities, threatening to break your heart with their haunting melodies, spellbinding lyrics, and unforgettable imagery. The way she sings lets you know that you know she’s lived every moment of the lyrics.
