Payday Music Publishing Extends Representation with Leading Dance Music Songwriter HAYLA
Payday Music Publishing, the leading independent publishers of Hip-Hop, Pop, Electronic Dance Music, Jazz and Reggae is excited to extend their relationship in representing GRAMMY-nominated, Gold-certified songwriter and powerhouse vocalist HAYLA. The re-signing was announced today (October 13) by Patrick Moxey, Founder of Payday Music Publishing.
In the songwriting community, HAYLA, who has been represented by Payday since 2023, is perhaps best known for lending her songcrafting talents to many of contemporary EDM’s most recognizable chart-topping hits. Collectively her works have garnered over one billion streams on Spotify alone.
“There are many expert songwriters in dance and pop music but it’s rare to find someone who has the tremendous charisma, style and charm as HAYLA. She delivers anthemic music both vocally and as a songwriter, a testament to her artistry in one complete package.” – Patrick Moxey (Founder of Payday Music Publishing)
HAYLA, who has seven #1 Billboard Dance Music singles to her credit, has also collaborated with notable artists in the genre including Kx5 (deadmau5 & Kaskade) on their Top 40 radio single “Escape,” KYGO (“Wtihout You”) and MEDUZA (“Another World”). She also co-penned “Meet Again” for Kaskade, Layton Gordoni and Natalie Jane which appears on Kaskade’s latest album ORIGIN II., “Silence” by MEDUZA and RANI, and “I’ll Wait For You” for Seven Lions, Subtronics and Skylar Grey. Her track “FADED” co-written and performed with Nelly Furtado released earlier this year has made its way to dancefloors again courtesy of an Amazon exclusive remix by Nora En Pure. Look for the remix to be released widely this Friday, October 16.
“Patrick and the whole Payday team have been nothing but fully supportive of HAYLA over the last few years. They have created incredible environments to enable HAYLA to write and perform on extraordinary songs. The results have spoken for the themselves and the songs have gone on to create significant and memorable moments for HAYLA” – Jon Vick (HAYLA’s manager, Restless Minds Music)
HAYLA has written and released two critically acclaimed solo albums, her 2024 debut DUSK, which included her charting singles “Visions of You” and “Fall Again,” and her 2026 follow-up DARK, which adopts a more ethereal, experimental sound and was supported by NPR Music, NYLON, Billboard and more. Look for HAYLA to spend 2027 writing her third studio album.
