Hailey Orion explains, "My lineage derives from a long line of alcoholics and addicts and if you’re a woman, the most you’ll do is stay quiet, cook, clean, and dampen your dreams. There was a lot of abuse in our household, a lot of confusion, a lot of big feelings I didn’t know how to process as a kid, so I turned to writing.” Now, she is using her music to empower and break generational curses. Perhaps this is why hundreds of thousands of young women all over the world have identified with her authenticity as an artist and media has a shared sentiment that she’s “Easy to root for. She’s an incredibly gifted singer…she’s herself.”
