Artist Information
New York-born and South Carolina-raised, independent artist Haley Mae Campbell is paving her own way in country music. Blending infectious pop melodies and conversational lyrics with a Celtic-inspired sound that honors her Irish roots, a listen through her debut album feels like catching up with a friend on FaceTime. From falling in love to letting go, decision-making to second-guessing, ‘Dear Life’ celebrates the confusing journey of coming into one’s own.
Since getting her start in her hometown of Charleston, SC, Campbell has opened for country stars like Billy Currington, Luke Combs, Dierks Bentley, Maddie & Tae, Brothers Osborne, Dan + Shay, Carly Pearce, and many more. By the end of 2023, she completed her first national tour supporting trailblazer Alexandra Kay’s “All I’ve Ever Known: The Tour,” and achieved her first gold-certified cut as a songwriter after penning BRELAND’s single “Cowboy Don’t” featured on his debut deluxe album “Cross Country: The Extra Mile.”
At 30 million on-demand streams and counting, Campbell has earned her place on listeners’ playlists. Her single “Never Been in Love” notched a milestone in her career so far; after uploading a clip of the song to social media that has amassed over 70M views, the track followed through by debuting at #1 on the All Genre and Country iTunes Charts. “Seeing the response that the song received from fans, it was just the most wonderful and rewarding feeling,” she says. “I knew this was so much more than just my own story, and the fans really proved that.”
After the single's incredible debut, traction continued to build as the song was featured on editorial playlists like Spotify’s “New Boots,” “Women of Country,” and more. Haley Mae was selected as one of CMT's “Next Up Now” featured artists, and the official video for “Never Been in Love” was premiered and put in rotation, in addition to being voted into the Hot 20 Countdown’s coveted Heatseeker Video of the Week spotlight. Additional fan favorites like “Champagne Problem” and “Thank You Card” helped to round out her “20Something” EP released March 2023.
At once playful yet determined, Campbell is ready to knock down doors as she continues her ascent, insisting she’ll never lose sight of why she chose to make music in the first place:
“My music is an honest reflection of my experience—pretty, ugly, and everything in between. With every song, my goal is to take the listener on a journey, paint them a picture and bring them along on the ride. I think that’s truly what makes music impactful; when you can find yourself in someone else’s story.”
