Hayley Williams
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hayley Nichole Williams (born December 27, 1988) is
an American singer,songwriter and the lead vocalist
of the band Paramore. In 2002, at the age of 13,
Williams moved from her hometown, Meridian,
Mississippi, to Franklin, Tennessee, where she met
former band members Josh Farro and Zac Farro in
school. Shortly after arriving,she began taking vocal
lessons with Brett Manning.While still in school,
she tried out for a local funk cover band called
The Factory where she met Jeremy Davis.
Life and career
Williams was discovered in 2003 by managers Dave Steunebrink
and Richard Williams who signedthe 14-year-oldto a production
deal. According to former manager
Jeff Hansonin an interview with
HitQuarters, at the time she was
writing pop songs with top song
writers in Nashville. Williams was
introduced to Atlantic Records A&R
Tom Storms through Richard's
attorneys Jim Zumwaltand Kent
Marcus, and then signed to the
label by Jason Flom. The label's
original plan for their new artist
was to make her a solo pop
artist but Williams objected to this,
saying that she wanted to be part of
a band and play alternative music.
Atlantic decided to go along with her
wishes and she then formed Paramore
with Josh Farro, Zac Farro, and Jeremy Davis.
The music of Paramore was originally supposed to come out on
Atlantic Records but the label's marketing department decided
it would be better for the image of the band to not have them
attached to a huge label. They instead released their music
through a cooler niche label in Fueled by Ramen.

Paramore
Paramore was created in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004, with
Hayley Williams (lead vocals/keyboards) alongside Josh Farro
(lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar) and
Zac Farro(drums). Prior to forming Paramore, the other
members of what was soon to be Paramore had been
"edgy" about the whole female thing" of having Williams
as singer, but as they were good friends she began writing
with them and eventually became a member. The band has
released three studio albums, All We Know Is Falling, Riot!,
and Brand New Eyes as well as two live albums and three
EPs. In June 2009, the band welcomed Taylor York
(rhythm guitar) as an official member, although he had
already been playing as a touring member with the band
since 2007.
