Louisiana native HAYDEL broadens the Nashville soundscape with an original style. Inspired by idols such as John Mayer, Rob Thomas, and John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, HAYDEL’s sound is influenced by the alternative rock of the late ’90s and early 2000s. Growing up in a music household, HAYDEL has always been awed by the ability to create sounds with instruments. “Music is almost like a portal into another dimension. It takes me to another place where I’m not thinking about anything else but the song.” 

HAYDEL moved to Nashville in January of 2020 with nothing but a plan and ambition to fully commit to music. As HAYDEL describes it “for me it’s music or bust.”  A year later, he inked his first pub deal with Wide Open Music, landed his first outside cut “Even Now” on artist, Chase Bryant, and his own opening slot on Aaron Lewis’ “Frayed At Both Ends” tour. 

HAYDEL’s new single, “Somebody for You,” is now available on all platforms. It follows the release of his reimagined take on “If You Could Only See,” originally performed by Tonic.
