Hayley Williams was born on December 27,1988, in Meridian, Mississippi.

Biography and Career:

She was very shy and suffered by strong stage fright. After moving to Tennessee, Hayley started taking vocal lessons and played roles in various school productions. This helped her to get a grip over her stage fear.

She came across Josh and Zac Farro around that time. These brothers had started a band by that time and played various funk covers. They, along with Jeremy Davis and Jason Bynum, formed a band and named Paramore.
Within a few months, the band started performing in Tennessee and soon gathered a small, but devoted fan base. Gradually, as they became well-known, they took part in music festivals like the Warped Tour and Purple Door. The big news came in April 2005, when Paramore was signed for a record contract with Fueled under the label of Ramen.

But, just when Hayley and her band started recording for their first album, the band’s bassist Jeremy Davis left the band for unrevealed reasons. Though the band initially suffered from the loss of a member, yet the four-member band redoubled their speed towards making their debut album All We Know IS Falling. The result of their untiring efforts was seen with the release of their album on July 26, 2005. The album scaled #30 on Billboard’s Heathseekers Chart. While the band was touring during that summer for the promotion of their new album, Jeremy joined back with the band. This gave the band a fresh wind of energy to perform even better.

Paramore soon began to be counted as one of most promising bands of the music scene. They received huge enthusiasm weeks prior to the release of their second album. In between the release of their second album, Hailey was named “No. 2 sexiest female in rock” by Kerrang Magazine and NME Magazine regarded Paramore as “one of the 10 bands to watch”.

The band started recording their second album Riot! by January, 2007, and released it on June 12 of the same year.Paramore received even greater success than their first album with Riot!. It was certified Gold in the United States and Hailey was placed beside contemporary rock icons like Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson.

Why is she famous?

Hayley Williams is famous as the lead singer of the alt-rock band Paramore. She has also appeared in “Kiss Me” video of New Found Glory.

Here is one of her famous quotes:

“It was cool to meet people that liked music as much as I did. As soon as we started writing together, it was pretty obvious.”
