A timeless voice outlasts eras. It feels just as at home in the sixties as it does in the TikTok age. It also resounds louder as time goes on. Haley Reinhart brandishes such a voice.
The double platinum-certified Chicago-born singer and songwriter was introduced to the world in 2011, when Haley landed third place and became a fan favorite on season 10 of American Idol. More recently, Haley returned to Idol this time as a mentor, coaching contestants singing in the Soul Genre. Her dynamic presence powered four solo albums – Listen Up! (2012) on Interscope Records, Better (2016) on Red Dot, What’s That Sound? (2017) on Concord Records, and Lo- Fi Soul (2019) on Haley’s self-owned label, Reinhart Records. Haley latest work is the extended play Off The Ground (2022). All seven original songs are either written or co-written by Haley.
Meanwhile, her take on the Elvis Presley classic, Can’t Help Falling In Love generated over 400 million Spotify streams and 100 million YouTube views within a few years of its release. What started off as a version sung for an Extra Gum Commercial, turned into a chart-topping radio hit and touring sensation. Haley’s remake of the song peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 31 on the Billboard Adult Pop Airplay chart.
Haley has also embraced collaborating regularly with other talented musicians. She is featured on Postmodern Jukebox’s highest viewed videos (cumulatively surpassing over 300 million views). And Haley has dueted with legendary star Jeff Goldblum on a total of four tracks from his two jazz albums with Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. Haley joined Jeff for an unforgettable performance on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!. In 2019, she continued pushing boundaries and crossing genres into EDM. In 2019, Haley lent her voice and songwriting skills to Vicetone’s dance hit, Something Strange. In 2022, she teamed up with DJ Naeleck on a version of Radiohead’s Creep.
Expanding her oeuvre, Haley voices a young boy named Bill Murphy on all five seasons of the hit Netflix animated series based on comedian Bill Burr’s childhood – F Is For Family. She made her acting debut in Robert Rodriguez’s hit film We Can Be Heroes. In the family film, Haley plays a superhero whose voice is her power. A sequel to We Can Be Heroes is in the scriptwriting phase. And Haley’s music has been featured in countless ads and commercials for companies including Mazda and JP Morgan Chase and television programs including Love Island, Gossip Girl, Nashville, Riverdale, The Wilds, America’s Got Talent, and Dancing with the Stars.
On the touring front, Haley is her busiest in her fifteen years in music. Throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024, Haley headlined over one hundred and fifty venues throughout North America. For her 2025 and 2026 tour, Haley will headline shows across four continents – North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. The show is just beginning.
