The Official Website For Auriol Hays
I love writing new music and often the stories that lead to their creation are…quirky if not comical. So just where do I begin with the new single? Its called When The Night is Over. Do know that I am trusting you with this backstory….as every single word I am about to divulge is […]
At this time each year I write a little post about the things I discovered about myself, small insights or epiphanies. So here goes! I am not as crazy as I initially suspected! Now this is a major revelation. As humans we always search for mistakes, our failings and try to justify our actions. I […]
This song was written by Andre Scheepers and was one of his first songs I sang and recorded. This is a firm favorite at weddings and can be found on my debut album Behind Closed Doors.
‘Don’t live like you are already dead!’ I told a friend a few days ago. Look, we have all had that friend who shuts down, goes undercover, does stupid shit and loses their minds. Hell, sometimes we were that friend! I know that place, that Babylon called ‘unhappy-ville’ very well. I visit it at least […]

This is from my first album Behind Closed Doors. Our own version of Aint No Sunshine. I really dig Andre’s production on this track. Enjoy and be on the lookout for more music, new and old.
The festive season is not an easy one. For some it is an open invitation to eat, drink, be merry and spend money they don’t have. For others it is a solemn time of year, but for those who have Alzheimer’s sufferers in their family, it is a time of the year that causes sadness […]
There are a few items you will always find on my bed. Notebooks, books I am reading (currently there are six) and pens. I am a compulsive note taker. I have stopped people in mid-sentence and asked them to ‘stop talking and hold that thought please’ so I can jot down the words in my […]
This is a little Femme Fetale song called Lady Luck. Can you see it? I am dressed in a bitching gown….strutting around in a casino with my cigaro and whiskey dishing out warnings to silly men! HAHA. It was written years ago with Andre Scheepers. This needs to be re-worked but I still dig the energy […]
