HAILEY WRIGHT

Bio

A life-changing softball injury at 16 sparked Hailey’s musical journey when she picked up a pawn shop guitar during her recovery in Redwater, Texas. Teaching herself to play, she found music as a powerful outlet for her emotions. Her first open mic performance was a hit, with the audience recording and sharing it on social media. Alongside her musical awakening, Hailey discovered her Choctaw heritage, embracing her Indigenous roots through powwows. Now, she honors both her musical talent and cultural identity, growing her mid-thigh-length hair - a symbol of spiritual significance in Choctaw culture - and learning the Choctaw language. Hailey continues to pursue her musical career while deeply connecting with her heritage.
