Hayward Williams is an American singer-songwriter from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States.
In 2001 Williams quit school to join the award-winning Milwaukee based band 'Exit', named Wisconsin Band of the Year in 2004, by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry. Lending bass guitar and vocals to the bands' hook-driven pop catalogue, Williams traveled the Midwest circuit and around the country with Exit. In 2002 Williams independently released Manoverboard, a solo project recorded under a pseudonym, which allowed him the opportunity to play solo engagements throughout the region and served as the foundation for Uphill /Downhill, Hayward Williams's 2005 debut.[1]
His latest album, Haymaker (2012) is the result of a Kickstarter project, that was successfully completed in May 2012 (within 24 hours the target amount was reached!).[2]
During recent European tours Williams often plays bass guitar in Jeffrey Foucault's band, after he himself has opened the show with a solo performance.
