Introspective lyricism and an earnest voice stand in the centre of Hayden Hubers’ music. Better known as Hayd, this 23-year-old multiplatinum singer-songwriter from Whitehall, Michigan has comforted audiences worldwide with his melancholic melodies.
After a challenging breakup, Hayd found solace and expression in music as a means of emotional release, writing his own songs and sharing them online. In 2019, he gained traction by emailing his music to popular lyric channels on YouTube, gradually building a dedicated following. His breakthrough came in 2020 when a snippet of his track Changes went viral on TikTok. Propelled into the spotlight at just 18, Hayd signed with Interscope Records and released his debut EP Changes, achieving remarkable success and accumulating over one billion global streams.
In 2022, he located to Los Angeles, California and found synergy with fellow artists David Kushner, Chance Peña, Jonah Kagen, and Sarcastic Sounds, collaborating and refining his craft. The same year, he embarked on his first headline tour across Asia, performing for a collective audience of over 30,000 fans.
In 2023, Hayd showcased his versatility as a songwriter, penning chart-topping hits such as Daylight (1B+ streams) and Burn (110M+ streams) for David Kushner, as well as I Am Not Who I Was (180M+ streams) for Chance Peña. The following year, he joined Chance Peña as the opening act for his sold-out US/EU tour.
Hayd’s eagerly anticipated sophomore EP, HOW CLOSE AM I?, was released in August 2024, preceding his headline world tour which kicked off in September 2024. Armed with his poignant storytelling, Hayd is ready to greet fans with his distinct sound in Singapore and beyond.
