Musical artist

Hayley Nichole Williams (born December 27, 1988) is an American singer and songwriter. She is the lead vocalist and only constant member of the rock band Paramore, which she co-founded in 2004.

Williams was born and raised in Meridian, Mississippi. Her parents divorced when she was 13 and she moved with her mother to Franklin, Tennessee, where she later formed Paramore alongside Josh Farro, Zac Farro, and Jeremy Davis. Paramore has released six studio albums: All We Know Is Falling (2005), Riot! (2007), Brand New Eyes (2009), Paramore (2013), After Laughter (2017), and This Is Why (2023). It has featured a continuously changing line-up (currently consisting of Williams, Zac Farro, and Taylor York) with Williams being the only member to appear on all six albums.

Williams' non-Paramore musical work includes the song "Teenagers" for the soundtrack of the film Jennifer's Body (2009) and collaborations with The Chariot, October Fall, New Found Glory, Set Your Goals, and Zedd. In 2010, she was featured on the single "Airplanes" by B.o.B, which peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The sequel to the song, "Airplanes, Part II", featured new verses from B.o.B. and a guest verse from Eminem with Williams' vocals remaining. This gained a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. In 2023, she featured on Taylor Swift's re-recording of her 2010 album Speak Now on the track "Castles Crumbling". She has also released the solo EPs Petals for Armor I (2020) and Petals for Armor II (2020), the subsequent full-length solo album Petals for Armor (2020), and her second solo album Flowers for Vases / Descansos (2021).

Williams' other ventures include the music series Kiss-Off and the hair dye company Good Dye Young.

## Early life

[edit]

Hayley Nichole Williams[10][11] was born in Meridian, Mississippi, on December 27, 1988, the daughter of Cristi and Joey Williams.[3] She has two younger half-sisters.[12][13] Her childhood neighbor was future NBA player Rodney Hood.[14] After her parents' divorce in 2002, when she was 13, she moved with her mother to Franklin, Tennessee.[15][16][17] It was here that she met future Paramore bandmates Josh and Zac Farro at her new school.[18][19] Shortly after settling in Franklin, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning.[20][21][22] While still at school, she tried out for a local funk cover band called The Factory, where she met future Paramore bandmate Jeremy Davis.[19][22][23]

## Music career

[edit]

### 2004–present: Paramore

[edit]

Williams was discovered in 2003 by managers Dave Steunebrink and Richard Williams, who signed the 14-year-old to a two-year production deal.[24][25] At the time she was writing pop songs with songwriters in Nashville.[25] Williams was introduced to Atlantic Records A&R Tom Storms through Richard Williams' attorneys Jim Zumwalt and Kent Marcus, and then signed to the label by Jason Flom.[22] The label's original plan for their new artist was to make her a solo pop artist, but Williams objected to this, saying that she wanted to be part of a band and play pop punk music.[4][22][26]

Atlantic decided to go along with her wishes, and she then formed Paramore with Josh Farro, Zac Farro, and Jeremy Davis.[25] The music of Paramore was originally supposed to come out on Atlantic Records, but the label's marketing department decided it would be better for the image of the band to not have them attached to a huge label. They instead released their music through a "cooler" niche label, Fueled by Ramen.[25] According to Williams, the name "Paramore" came from the maiden name of the mother of one of their first bass players.[27] Once the group learned the meaning of the homophone "paramour" ("secret lover"), they decided to adopt the name, using the Paramore spelling.[22][28] The band's debut album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when Hayley was only 16 years old. Paramore has since released five more studio albums, Riot! (2007), Brand New Eyes (2009), the self-titled Paramore (2013), After Laughter (2017) and This Is Why (2023). In June 2009, the band welcomed Taylor York (rhythm guitar) as an official member, although he had already been playing as a touring member with the band since 2007. In December 2010, Josh and Zac Farro left the band. The news was posted by Williams on Paramore's website, with Josh later posting a blog post confirming their departure, calling the group "a manufactured product of a major label, riding on the coattails of 'Hayley's dream'".[29][30]

In 2006, Paramore toured outside of the US for the first time, which included a headline tour of the UK and supporting post-hardcore rock band The Blackout on the Give It A Name Festival in Europe.[31] The following year, she and the rest of Paramore made an appearance in the music video for "Kiss Me" by New Found Glory.[32] In the 2007 Kerrang! Readers' Poll, she finished second to Evanescence's Amy Lee in the "Sexiest Female" category,[33] going on to win the first place spot for "Sexiest Female" a year later in the 2008 poll,[34] and again in the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 poll. She also appears as a playable character in the video game Guitar Hero World Tour after completing "Misery Business" in the vocalist campaign.[35][36][37]

Williams was honored with the "Trailblazer Award" in the 2014 Billboard's Women in Music Awards for making a unique mark in music and paving the way for other artists.[38] In 2015, Williams starred as the 'Crimson Curse' in Taylor Swift's music video for her single, "Bad Blood", alongside sixteen other celebrities.[39] Along with band member and co-writer Taylor York, Williams was nominated for and won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song at the 2015 ceremony for the song "Ain't It Fun".[40][41][42] In July 2015, Williams won the APMA for Best Vocalist.[43][44]

In a 2019 interview with l'Odet, Williams was asked if she would "stay in Paramore for a long time" and answered, "In moving forward, if the three of us are happy, then we will just do whatever we want to do. If that means collaborating with each other, bringing other friends in to collaborate—there are seven band members when we tour. We're all friends and we all make music in different parts, together. So I feel like, yes, I want to be in Paramore... I've been in a band with them since I was 12. I don't think the band is going anywhere. As long as we're friends, the band just is. It's just in us."[45]

### 2009–present: Solo career

[edit]

Williams wrote and recorded the song "Teenagers", which was featured in the soundtrack for the feature film Jennifer's Body. After the release of "Teenagers", Williams stated that she had no plans to establish herself as a solo artist.[46] In 2010, she appeared on the tracks "Airplanes" and "Airplanes, Part II" from alternative rapper B.o.B's debut album, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray.[47][48][49] When it was released as a single, "Airplanes" peaked within the top ten in nineteen countries, including the number one position in the United Kingdom and New Zealand.[50][51] EDM producer Zedd and Williams collaborated on the track "Stay the Night", from his debut studio album, Clarity,[43][52] which was released in 2013. In 2019, she collaborated with American Football on the song Uncomfortably Numb, which appeared on the band's third self-titled studio album.[53]

In December 2019, on her 31st birthday, Williams announced she would be releasing solo music in 2020, with a "taste" of it to come in January. Flyers consisting of a picture of Williams under the title Petals for Armor began appearing in several US cities and abroad. Her debut solo single "Simmer" was released on January 22, 2020, with its accompanying music video.[54][55][56] That same day Williams announced that her debut studio album, Petals for Armor, would be released on May 8, 2020.[57] It was later revealed that she would release an EP, Petals for Armor I, on February 6, 2020, in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music. On March 19, she announced that she was postponing the release of the second half of the EP, and instead released the song "Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris" featuring Boygenius.[58] A solo tour in promotion of the album was postponed from May 2020 then canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[59] In December 2024, Williams announced plans to play the cancelled shows in 2025.[60]

In January 2021, Williams started teasing a project titled Flowers for Vases / Descansos.[61][62] She unofficially released the single "My Limb" by giving a CD with the track on it to a dedicated fan.[63] Williams released the album on February 5, 2021.[64] On June 5, 2023, it was announced that Williams would be featured on Taylor Swift's re-recorded album, Speak Now (Taylor's Version), on the song "Castles Crumbling".[65][66]

## Business ventures

[edit]

In March 2013, Williams announced she was partnering with MAC Cosmetics for the release of a new makeup collection on April 9, 2013.[67][68] The four-piece collection included a bright orange lipstick, an orange nail polish, a shimmery coral eye shadow and a beauty powder.[69] Hayley appeared on the April 2013 cover of Nylon magazine to promote Paramore's self-titled album.[70][71] In October, she partnered with the Hard Rock Café's PINKTOBER charity campaign to raise awareness and funding for breast cancer and its research.[72][73]

In 2015, she launched the online beauty and music series Kiss-Off on Popular TV.[74][75]

In 2019, Williams posted an Instagram story about the 2018 Pool Kids album Music to Practice Safe Sex to, saying that Paramore had wished they sounded like that 15 years earlier. The widely seen post brought more attention to the new and relatively unknown Pool Kids.[76]

In November 2020, Williams released a candle in collaboration with home fragrance brand Apothekeco.[77]

In March 2021, Williams announced her collaboration with Tea Huntress, a tea manufacturer in Nashville. Two new blends are available as part of the collaboration, called Bloom and Alibi. A portion of each sale will be donated to Thistle Farms, an organization that helps women survivors of trafficking, abuse, and addiction.[78]

### 2016–present: Good Dye Young

[edit]

In 2016, after over four years of planning, Williams launched the hair dye company Good Dye Young alongside her hair and makeup artist Brian O'Connor.[79][80][81][82] The colors offered by the company included an orange called Riot, a pink called Ex-Girl, a blue called Blue Ruin, a yellow called Steal My Sunshine, a red called Rock Lobster, a purple called PPL Eater, a green called Kowabunga, a teal called Narwhal, and a black called None More Black.[83][84] The dyes are vegan and cruelty-free.[85] In 2017, Good Dye Young launched a temporary hair dye line that disappears after one wash called Poser Paste,[80][86][87] and in May 2020, they released Lighter Daze, a range of five semi-permanent pastel colors.[88]

## Artistry

[edit]

### Influences

[edit]

Williams cites a wide range of musical acts as her influences including Debbie Harry, the Shangri-Las, Siouxsie Sioux, Gwen Stefani, Beyoncé, and Brody Dalle of the Distillers.[89]

### Voice

[edit]

Williams is a soprano with a four-octave range.[90] Emilee Lindner of MTV News has noted her ability to sing in the whistle register,[91] and Maura Johnston of Rolling Stone her "acrobatic" singing style.[92] Alternative Press wrote that Williams "has more charisma than singers twice her age, and her band aren't far behind in their chops, either."[93] Singer-songwriter John Mayer praised Williams's voice in an October 2007 blog post, calling her "The great orange hope" (her hair being orange at the time).[94][95]

## Personal life

[edit]

Williams has identified as Christian and regularly discusses her faith in relation to her music, but has often criticized the judgmental nature of some Christians.[96] The Farro brothers cited differing attitudes to faith as contributing to their exit from Paramore, with Josh Farro citing the lyrics of some songs in Brand New Eyes in particular, saying that they "contradicts [their] faith".[97][98][99]

In late 2007, Williams began dating New Found Glory lead guitarist Chad Gilbert,[100] though he was already married to Sherri DuPree, the lead singer of the rock band Eisley.[101][102] They became engaged on Christmas Day in 2014,[103][104] and were married on February 20, 2016.[105] They formally announced that they had separated on July 1, 2017, with Gilbert's infidelity later being revealed as the reason,[106] and their divorce was finalized by the end of the year.[107][108] Williams's song, "Dead Horse", was inspired by their relationship and what she did to DuPree.[101][102][109] In September 2022, Williams confirmed she was in a relationship with her Paramore bandmate Taylor York.[110]

Williams previously publicized her decisions not to smoke, drink alcohol, or use recreational drugs, though she now drinks alcohol.[111][112] She has been vocal about her experiences with depression, which caused her to briefly leave Paramore in mid-2015.[113] In a 2019 interview, she discussed depression, mental health, and her divorce.[114] In a 2020 interview, she revealed she had suicidal thoughts but did not act on them.[115] In a 2021 interview, she discussed how she had been impacted by generational trauma and revealed that she has been seeing a therapist since 2018.[116] In a 2023 interview, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with PTSD in 2018.[117]

In 2015, Williams responded to feminist criticism of Paramore's breakout song "Misery Business", citing her youth and inexperience as a contributing factor to the song's allegedly misogynistic lyrics. In a blog post, she described herself as "a proud feminist [...] just maybe not a perfect one".[118]

In 2020, following the George Floyd protests, Williams temporarily handed control of her Instagram account to Nashville-based activist group Teens4Equality to highlight their work in relation to the Black Lives Matter movement.[119]

In 2021, Williams announced that she would be abandoning her personal social media accounts due to her need for boundaries between her public and private life and her desire to "spend more time looking up and out, rather than down". She directed her fans to instead follow Paramore's official accounts, which remain highly active.[120] She later returned to using Instagram, but disabled the ability to leave comments on her posts.[121]

In 2022, Williams endorsed Democratic nominee Beto O'Rourke in the Texas gubernatorial election.[122]
