The Official Website For Auriol Hays
What happened to the good old days of posting fun photos? Before I deleted Twitter there were some photos of a friend…lighting a smoke between his toes! My sister called me demanding to know what’s going on! Haha. I deleted a pic of a friend who was posing with everyone. Dude had great ink and […]
Sharing some thoughts ahead of scattering my father’s ashes this weekend. Thoughts about energy, truth, love and what my favorite musician taught me so far..
Tumi left today, and I can honestly say we had a blast of a time. Hanging out and making music hasn’t been this much fun in ages! In a few days we leave for CT…And that is bound to be more interesting than I could hope. I noticed that the act of writing itself has […]
This is a deep house song. A song to be played in clubs while people sway gently. This is new latest deep house taking the country by storm. It’s called Ama-Piano deep house. Produced by Tumi. I don’t discriminate when it comes to music. If it moves me I will sing to it. The song […]
This track was inspired by….an energy drink, Diana Ross and I decided to channel my inner Barry White! And Tumi sounds very smooth on this. I asked him lay down vocals and think of LL Cool J….and he didn’t appreciate it! Haha This took about 30 minutes to write. Yes, far from complete.

OMG!! I love Viola Davis. And thus movie is bound to be brilliant! Check out the trailer. It’s coming out soon. It’s so important that these stories are told.
This has a Spanish feel, and at some point Tumi started singing in Spanish. No, said I. We are South African. So we added in some Sotho lyrics instead, one of the many languages he speaks. Tumi helped me pronounced the words. So ‘ ke khale, ke le boshloko, ke sa robale‘ means – it’s […]
These dreams of mine…. Why can’t I have a musical Ben Harper dream eh? Wait, there is nothing wrong right now. I don’t feel conflicted, hurt or alone. Mr Harper only rocks up to save me from myself. Or to wake me up so I don’t throw myself off a cliff. Ok. Fair enough. This […]
Gilda’s husband, Doug, passed three years ago. Yet, the one thing he said remains with me. We spoke about truth once and he asked me, ‘For whom are you speaking that truth?’ The reason why it stopped me in my tracks was this: sometimes the truth can be even more damaging than a lie. Especially, […]
