Eighteen-year-old Hailey Hermida blends her love for pop rock with the raw energy of live music, delivering songs that channel her influences of Paramore, Korn, Avril Lavigne, and Johnnie Guilbert. Originally from Garland, TX, and now based in Los Angeles, Hailey’s music is driven by a fierce passion for storytelling, connection, and honest, unapologetic expression.

​

Her latest single, straitjacket, released on July 22nd, dives deeper into her 2000s punk-rock inspirations and pushes back against a society that tries to control your own decisions. Hailey shares, “there’s a pressure to make yourself small, to not be too emotional, too opinionated, too honest, and when you push back, they make you feel like you’re the crazy one. That’s where the title came from. It’s a metaphor for how people try to control you by making you doubt yourself.”

​

Between performances at iconic venues like The Whisky, The Mint, and the Troubadour, Hailey’s building a connection with her audience that goes beyond the music. Expect big things, louder shows, and an artist who’s just getting started.
