HALEY (fka Haley Bonar) is a Twin Cities-based singer/songwriter who has published short stories and poetry, produced all of her 9 full length LPs, self-recorded, produced, and released 5 EPs, and serves as the frontwoman of her punk side project, Gramma’s Boyfriend. In 2017 she abandoned her surname and changed her stage name to simply HALEY. Her music can be heard on TV shows such as ‘Orange is the New Black’, ‘Transparent’, ‘Arrow’, ‘United States of Tara’, as well as commercials and film trailers. In 2013, HALEY was awarded the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for performing songwriters. She has toured across the United States, Canada, Europe, and the UK. In 2018, HALEY composed her first full length instrumental album, “Pleasureland,” and created 6 of the album’s 12 accompanying videos. Although she has been creating work for 18 years, the fact that it feels like HALEY is just beginning is possibly the most remarkable thing about her artistry. Moving with confidence and vulnerability through genre and category, HALEY’s music engages the audience regardless of the direction it is coming from. HALEY lives in St. Paul, MN with her daughter.
