CHRISTIAN HAYES ASSEMBLES TEAM
8/15/24

Christian Hayes, who gained attention with his viral single "LILY," has expanded his team.

Discovered by Wildrose Projects' Helena Capps, who serves as his management, Hayes has secured representation with WME for booking, UMPG for publishing and Flood Bumstead McCready & McCarthy for business management. Additional representation includes Safford Motley PLC’s Scott Safford as attorney and Essential Broadcast Media for publicity. Hayes is also signed to ASCAP.

Having first caught the attention of Capps with an Instagram post of his song “Leaving” in September 2023, Hayes has since gained traction with his viral track, “LILY,” which amassed 2m+ streams, and dropped his latest single, “Cheyenne.”

Influenced by his grandfather’s encouragement to write, the singer-songwriter has honed his craft over the years and boasts an extensive songwriting portfolio with over 900 songs.

“Music has always been a part of my life and now, it always will be,” says Hayes. “Not many people get to live out their passion and purpose and I’m beyond blessed to do so thanks to this amazing team we’ve built. I’m excited to start this journey alongside all of them!”

"Once we heard him perform live, we knew we had something incredibly special on our hands. Christian’s approach to songwriting is unique yet fits right in at a time when genres are blending," adds Cyndi Forman, SVP, A&R, UMPG Nashville.

Jon Folk, partner at WME, shares, “We couldn’t be more excited to be working with Christian Hayes. He is such an incredible singer, songwriter and performer. We can’t wait to see the rest of the world discover such an amazing talent!”
