The Official Website For Auriol Hays
I am naming my first E- book after my first album… Behind Closed Doors. The book is as much about music as it is about everything else. Love, bad sex and dealing with what feels like world ending scenarios. Oh, and coming out the other side with more…Music. I rather like this photo. Perhaps we […]
I came across this a few minutes ago. It made me laugh and I am sure any musician can relate. But it also made me miss being around musicians and my band. I miss Music more than anyone could ever imagine. * […]
I am not losing my mind. Just overly stressed out, isolated and grieving. The remedy? Leave home, be with friends or safe people and sing. I need some happiness in my life and right now that’s in short supply. It does feel like I am being tested I swear. On every front. The family stuff […]
Jordan Peele, that’s the magic name when it comes to American Horror. Representation matters. Ask anyone who has grown up in Apartheid South Africa, where we were taught to hate ourselves… Here’s the trailer. Watch it. You won’t be disappointed.

We are energetic beings. And it flows between us, this energy we beam out. Some along lines clearly defined. Mother. Father. Child, stretching backwards and towards places we can’t know. Yet life is so much trickier isn’t it? And none of us travel on safe and even paths. So we call into our lives, knowing […]
So my friend has small kids….and you know how much I enjoy being around kids. However, on this particular day, a few months back, they would not leave us alone to talk. You see….they were having a small war in the next room. The object in dispute being a game meant to be shared. And […]
Scrambled bits of nonsense thoughts, some that become music or not. Some old, new or made up. * You always saw ghosts where there were none. A phone call missed, a morning song not played, a glance at a stranger, a misunderstanding that lead to hours of no sleep and tears, usually yours. I needed […]
