Hailing from South Africa, Hayden Hack has travelled the world playing his own brand of Funky Rootsy high spirited, high vibrational music. From some of South Africa’s finest venues to busking in the UK and Asia, Hayden Hack has watched the world from a viewpoint that only an artisan can, and is writing songs that represent his experiences of the emotional and cultural influences of these interactions. Always holding a love for Australia from his many visits, Hayden has now settled in Queensland where he lives with his Wife and family in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Weaving and layering live looping within his unique guitar and vocal soundscape, Hayden takes the listener with him on a journey of transcendent multiplicity. Hailing from the liberated musical landscape of modern South Africa, Hayden Hack left his homeland some 12 years ago to travel the world and develop his craft and songwriting skills.
