Hayley Teal soon learnt she much preferred the noisy confines of singing on stage in clubs and bars than the idyllic Adelaide Hills apple orchard she grew up on. Performing in various cover bands over the past few years in Adelaide, The X Factor is Hayley’s time to shine. Her big voice had everyone raving after her audition, singing Alicia Keys’ ‘How Come You Don’t Call Me’.
Coming from a musical family, Hayley’s singing inspirations are the soulful singers Keisha Cole, Eric Benet, Brian McKnight, and, of course, Whitney and Mariah. Her personal inspiration is her girlfriend Izzy - they have been together for over a year now. Hayley says of her mentor Natalie: “She’s beautiful and lovely! She knows what she wants and is so experienced in the industry.” She is looking forward to the live shows, “getting out there and rocking it”.
Her ambitions? “I want to be singing on a worldwide basis. Writing my own material, recording my own songs.” She hopes to bring to The X Factor her versatility. “I’m real, I’m honest and I hope Australia will relate to me.”
