Black Vinyl. Hayden Everett is a Seattle-based artist blending folk storytelling with jazz-trained musicianship and expansive production. A UCLA jazz graduate, he writes much of his music on solo backpacking trips, guided by a belief that presence gives art it's weight. His debut EP, produced with Jeremy McDonald (Kevin Garrett, Vulfpeck, Beyoncé), earned placements on 'Grey's Anatomy' and praise from Earmilk, Atwood Magazine, and KCRW, with follow-ups via Platoon and Nettwerk featuring Jemima Coulter (Hailaker) and JT Bates (Bonny Light Horseman). With over 35 million streams, Hayden has toured with The Paper Kites, Hazlett, Trousdale, Luca Fogale, Vacation Manor, and will release his 'Friends & Family' EP through September 2025 ahead of his debut album 'So The Sun Can Pour' in Spring 2026.
