Mini bio
How it started.
Hayley grew up in Meridian, Mississippi, and moved to Franklin, Tennessee, at 13. She met future Paramore bandmates Josh and Zac Farro at school. Signed as a teenager, she insisted on making music with a band. Paramore released All We Know Is Falling in 2005, when she was 16.
Finding her voice.
Riot! and “Misery Business” brought Paramore to a wider audience in 2007. Her writing and voice have stayed at the center as the band moved through pop punk, the pop of After Laughter and the sharper rock of This Is Why. “Ain’t It Fun,” co-written with Taylor York, earned her first Grammy in 2015.
Songs of her own.
Petals for Armor began with songs she wrote as a form of journaling, encouraged by her therapist and bandmates. Her 2020 solo debut was followed by FLOWERS for VASES / descansos, which she wrote and performed herself at home in Nashville. In 2025 she released Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party through her own Post Atlantic label; in 2026 she and Daniel James introduced Power Snatch.
