Hayden James Birkett is an old‑school, soul-first singer-songwriter and guitarist, rooted deeply in the blues and driven by raw emotion. His sound carries the weight and warmth of classic blues while branching naturally into country rock grit and flashes of grunge-inspired edge. Every performance is built on feel - the kind you can’t fake - with expressive guitar work and vocals that prioritise honesty over polish.

What truly sets Hayden apart is the passion he brings to every song. Whether stripped back at an open mic or plugged in with a full band, his music is about connection, feel, and saying something real. There’s a timeless quality to his songwriting, balanced by a modern hunger to push boundaries and let emotion lead the way.
