Hailey Steele
"Diamonds take patience and pressure and time." This isn't just the tag line in a song from Hailey Steele's self-titled EP. To her, it's become a motto - a hopeful thought that carries her through rough days. "I literally had to be dropped off at my write the day we wrote Diamonds, because my Bug had died. For good. I didn't know what I was gonna do. And so we just wrote what I was feeling that day. I say what I think and I write my life." No stranger to the Nashville struggle, her highs and lows can be heard in her music. Steele’s lyrics touch on being a twenty-something girl who's not sure how she's going to pay her rent, wishing that she had things a little more figured out by now. She covers the ups and downs of love, victimizing her heart's counterpart on "You Made It That Way" (Steele/Terry McBride/Derrick Southerland), but keeps it light and fun with a road trip to Vegas in "Getaway Car" (Steele/Nathan Chapman). Steele also has a unique woman-to-woman perspective that gives a nod to her classic country heroes with songs "Boyfriend" and "High Horse." Often compared to the likes of Sheryl Crow and Dolly Parton, this 5-foot-2 Leap Year baby isn't afraid to say what everybody else is thinking. "Everybody's wanted something they can't have. We've all been there before. When we wrote "Boyfriend", (co-written with Raelynn and Nicolle Galyon), we wanted to come across as bold and honest with a touch of grace." High Horse (co-written with Ben Stennis and Brandon Hood), an ode to Steele's love of the Wild West, is a song about knocking an ambiguous enemy off of their "Holier Than Thou" throne. Steele grew up in a one-stoplight town in South Dakota. Although nobody in her immediate family was musical (her parents are both special education teachers), her love of music began early on. If the TV was on in the house, she was standing three feet away from it singing along with the videos on CMT. Her parents started taking her to concerts when she was young, and she grew up loving everything from Patsy Cline to Patty Loveless to The Eagles to Def Leppard. When she was just 10 years old, Steele opened for Loretta Lynn at a casino in South Dakota, where she befriended a Native American Chief named Dennis Alley. Soon after, Chief Alley began introducing her to all of his musical friends, including BB King, Aaron Neville, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson. By the time she was 15, Willie was inviting Hailey to sing onstage with him during his finale. "My experience with Willie will always be so special, but when I look back on it now that I'm older, it seems like it was almost spiritual. He’s a huge part of my story." Steele’s friendship with Willie and The Chief led her to many unique opportunities, such as performing at Farm Aid and singing a duet with Willie at the historic Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. At age 19, Hailey moved to Nashville and began writing songs. One of her writing relationships led her to become part of the duo The LiNE, produced by Grammy-nominated songwriter Stephony Smith. The pair spent two seasons on a NASCAR tour, received the rare “four chair turn” on Season 2 of The Voice (Team Xtina), and even had the honor of performing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. As soon as The Voice ended, Hailey decided to split from The LiNE and started to write for her solo project. "Being in a duo was a great experience for me. We made a lot of friends and wrote a lot of songs, but at the end of the day I wanted to get back to what my message was, and why I came to Nashville."
