The Official Website For Auriol Hays
When having a full blown existential crisis the only thing I want to do is shout FUCK!! And maybe bash my head and fists in some wall. It’s so boring facing the same questions, your own insecurities and having no choice but to stare down the fears that roar or become consumed by them. Ever […]
Small little nothings jotted in my notebooks. I am always writing and sometimes the words or phrases written down find their way into my music. ** I know the shape of my lover’s ears, the curl of his lips, the feel of his skin and his many faces. First he came to me as a […]
As far as I can tell – every piece of music was a snap shot of my life. A sneak peak, experiences condensed and set to music. Sometimes too revealing or more so by what was absent. My existential crisis gave me a great deal to think about. Why and how did I create meaning […]

This is the backstory, what really happened before I spoke. Being selected as a speaker at Pecha Kutcha was a big deal, for me at least and even though I tried my best to prepare… everything that could go wrong went wrong. I wrote the speech, prepared the slides with the help of A-Mic and […]
