Meet Haley!

Haley Driver is a dynamic emerging talent in the New York City music scene, and is releasing her debut EP, Reverie In Blue, in the Spring of 2025. Haley was recently featured on Sirius/XM Radio’s (Real Jazz Channel 67) national broadcast of the Cyrus Chestnut Trio’s performance of A Charlie Brown Christmas from SF Jazz, and has toured across the country alongside this jazz legend, helping to bring the beloved show to audiences nationwide.

A recent graduate of The New School, where she studied Jazz and Contemporary Music, Haley immersed herself in jazz, gospel, Motown, R&B, and the American Songbook. During her time in school, she was mentored by legendary artists including Cyrus Chestnut, Charlotte Small, Marilyn Maye, Faith Prince, Alex Rybeck, and Tim Schall.

Toward the end of her studies, Haley sang River’s Invitation from her upcoming EP alongside jazz icons Buster Williams, Lenny White, and Cyrus Chestnut as part of “A Celebration of Black History Month, Curated by Charlotte Small” in February of 2024; debuted her solo show, “Introducing: Haley Driver” at the Blue Strawberry in St. Louis; and performed her senior recital which featured esteemed musicians Cyrus Chestnut, Riza Printup, Mark Lewandowski, and Willie Jones III.

Haley has been praised for her “beautiful multi-octave vocal instrument with pleasing tone, pitch, and timbre,” and “stellar control,” (James Lindhorst, BroadwayWorld). A midwestern native of Champaign, IL and St. Louis, MO, Haley is eagerly anticipating the release of her EP and the next exciting chapters of her musical journey.
