CHRISTIAN HAYES

Raised in Georgia, Christian Hayes’ grandfather, a poet, encouraged him to begin writing at age 7, sparking a habit that led Hayes to Nashville. A veteran of the Navy Reserve, Hayes applied the discipline of military training to songwriting, amassing over 900 songs by his mid-twenties. Five of those are on Last I Love You, his debut for Capitol Records out now. Last I Love You features the viral hit "LILY,” the anthemic "Black Gold," and a mix of cinematic folk and rowdy, barn-burning Americana.
