I'm a driven, passionate and versatile singer/songwriter who has become a regular fixture in venues around southern Ontario. I have performed for a variety of audiences, including the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario! I use my music as a medium to inspire, share and tell stories that can relate to my wide audience in a unique way.
I am flexible in terms of my offerings, providing self accompanied (guitar) music (a mix of rock, pop, classic and new country, as well as original pop country songs).
I'm available any day of the week and any time of day.

Hayley is a consummate professional performer, always bringing her best to her audience. She is punctual and delivers exactly what is asked for. She has her own sound equipment and her own transportation and is able to provide a written contract setting out the exact parameters of her engagement for an event, including both the financial aspects and timeline aspects.
Burlington, Ontario, Canada country singer/songwriter Hayley Verrall is a fresh young artist who has quietly but quickly been edging her way into the Canadian country music community over the past couple years with her roots and contemporary inspired original music.
While Hayley has been honoured to present her original music opening shows for, working with and alongside other iconic Canadian musicians, she reveals her true motivation for songwriting:
“Writing is part of my day and comes from daily inspiration, from whatever I’m doing at the time. I try to write music about me, my experiences, the experiences of my friends and family and those I meet in my everyday life. My entire music career came about through a real life experience which is reflected in my Singing for Smiles story. I’m always on the look out for a good story that says who I am but which also feels like it could be someone else’s story too. I’ve written many songs about life, love and the world, and it’s my hope that people will be inspired or encouraged if they are going through the same things.”
An internationally and locally awarded artist, Hayley’s passion for performing and for people has not gone unnoticed. She recently had the lyrics to one of her original songs included in a public art project in Burlington and was named the 2020 inductee to the Burlington Performing Arts Centre Hall of Fame:
“Being inducted into the Burlington Performing Arts Centre Hall of Fame is an unbelievable feeling. I am so grateful for the ongoing support that both BPAC and Burlington have provided to me and my music. I feel completely blessed to be a Burlington artist and am ecstatic that BPAC recognizes my worth as such.”
Each of Hayley's new releases matches the force of her previous release and once again brings together those real-life experiences and relatable emotions with an incredible youthful energy.
As a solo performer Hayley only requires a DI box for her guitar and somewhere to plug in her microphone and then she is set to go! While it is preferable for clients/venues to have a sound system already set up for use Hayley has a full PA system available.
