Canadian Music ~ Hayden

Paul Hayden Desser (born February 12, 1971), who records as Hayden, is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Thornhill, Ontario.

His early works are a largely eclectic mix of genres from grunge to alternative country, as demonstrated by his first full album, Everything I Long For, released in 1995. Since then his work has become progressively more refined.

Desser received a B.A.A. in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (now Toronto Metropolitan University) in 1993.

In February 2023 he released the single "Miss Fort Erie", his first new music since 2015. He followed up at the end of the month with the announcement that his new album Are We Good will be released April 5, 2023, on Arts & Crafts; the announcement was accompanied by the release of the album's second preview track, a duet with Feist titled "On a Beach". Actor Steve Buscemi and musician Matt Berninger of The National appeared in the song's video.

Are We Good received a Juno Award nomination for Adult Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2024.
