Singer-songwriter Hayley Wallis’ voice has an unmistakable confidence that is immediately recognizable. Wallis delivers a powerful emotional performance that evokes a response as dynamic as her vocal range. Originally from the Kitasoo/Xais’xais community of Klemtu, in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, Wallis burst onto the scene with her debut single, Coffee Cup. An affecting pop anthem about mental health and reaching out for help, the tune reached #1 on NCI’s Indigenous Music Countdown and landed her in CBC’s Searchlight top 100.  She sings for herself, for her children, and for her people and hopes to set an example that will empower the young generation of her community to pursue their dreams. She last performed at TD JazzFest in 2023 and now returns in another free-to-attend performance at Bullen Park!
