“I’m excited about thi song; it’s a side of Hayden we havenlt seen before, more mature, both lyrically and vocally.” 2024 CMA Producer of the Year - Trent Wilmon

Red Dirt singer-songwriter, Hayden Haddock is on the fast track to becoming a mainstream country recording and touring artist.

 

The Texas A&M graduate’s music career catapulted in 2018 when an impromptu video performance, shot in his college dorm, surfaced online. The construction science major was quick to establish a loyal following garnering more than 1.4 million YouTube views and 90K fans across all digital platforms. Over the course of seven short years, the hardworking, road warrior has become an active member of the songwriting community, writing with countless hit songwriters (Trent Willmon, Tommy Karlas, John Pierce and Jim Collins among others). He performs nearly 100 dates a year across the U.S. taking the stage as support act for Randall King, Steve Wariner, Kevin Fowler, Casey Donahew, Roger Creager, Jon Wolfe and more. Hayden has enjoyed feature spotlights in Billboard, Taste of Country, The Boot, Country Now, Country Rebel, and Texas Lifestyle Magazine, notably and made a number of television appearances. In 2021, he was named “New Male Vocalist of the Year” by the Texas Regional Radio Music Awards (T3R).

 

Revealing nuances of the Texan’s musical influences (George Strait/Tracy Lawrence/Cody Johnson/Clay Walker), Hayden has celebrated six tracks on the Texas radio charts with three reaching the Top 10; he earned his first No. 1 on the Texas Country Music Chart in 2025 with the single “Front Porch In The Rain.”

 

Boasting more than 12 million streams to date, Hayden’s recordings have been spotlighted on multiple playlists including “Texas Music Now” and “Texas Music Rewind” (Spotify), “Don’t Mess With Texas” (Apple Music) and “Texas Forever” (Amazon Music). He is signed with Good Company Entertainment for management representation.

 

His new single, "Keep Me Up" (May 2025) is in keeping with the young stylist’s previous recordings and is the first in Haddock’s string of singles anticipated throughout spring and summer 2025.

 

Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a youngster, Hayden has worked with several organizations to enhance awareness surrounding the disease; he is an advocate/speaker for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an international, non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to support and promote diabetes research..
