Hayden Joseph

Hayden Joseph is an NYC-based singer-songwriter bridging the nostalgic sound of late-90s soft-rock icons (Matchbox 20, Sheryl Crow) with the confessional storytelling of contemporary indie pop (The 1975, Alec Benjamin). Through a series of waterfall releases, his current project explores the messy psychology of a long-term relationship through the lens of "disorganized" attachment. The full concept LP, set to be titled "Anxious-Avoidant," is due later this year. His latest singles mark a deliberate and authentic evolution from his early breakthrough in Nashville, where his unapologetic storytelling and outspoken LGBT advocacy earned him hundreds of thousands of followers, millions of streams, and placements on flagship editorial lists like "New Music Friday Country" and "Fresh Finds Country. " Notably, the narrative lyrical style he crafted during his time in the country space only amplifies his newfound, soft-rock footing. Now leaning fully into the visceral, smoldering sound that fits his voice best, Hayden is releasing the most emotionally resonant and sonically driven music of his career.
