Biography

Haley McNeil is a powerhouse vocalist —from Teeswater, Ontario— fast emerging onto Canada's Country music scene.

With her rich nostalgic blend of Contemporary Country & Classic Southern Rock —influences from Miley Cyrus to Stevie Nicks, Lainey Wilson to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Zach Bryan to Janis Joplin— Haley’s sound resonates with audiences of all ages and music genre preferences.

She debuted her first original song “Guardian Angel” live onstage, at the age of 13, and released her first original single “Dear Future Self” on Spotify in March 2020. The latter was named *SONG OF THE DAY* by Front Porch Music within a few short weeks of its release.

In the Spring of 2024, Haley completed her final year at Fanshawe's acclaimed “Music Industry Arts” Program (MIA) —where she was honoured with two awards: "Artist of The Year" and "Roots Vocalist of The Year"— in addition to touring with the London City Roots concert series.

Haley performed as one of the Top 8 Finalists in the Emerging Artist Showcase at the "North of Nowhere Music Festival" —in Lindsay, Ontario— and tied with Steven James for first place. Together, they blew the judges away by collaborating on a surprise duet during the 'head-to-head Top 2 finale showdown' on July 20th. She was also selected as one of the Top 6 Finalists for "Lucknow's Music in the Fields" 2024 Emerging Artist Showdown.
