Meet Singer/Songwriter Hayley Payne

While on assignment in Nashville for the National Tractor Parts Dealer Association and their Annual Conference and Trade Show we thought it would be cool to visit with an upcoming country music star. That's how we found Hayley Payne. She's a young woman from Owensboro, Kentucky who relocated to Nashville to chase her dream. We sat down with Hayley to find out more about the business of the music industry, how she does what she does and more. We think you'll enjoy meeting her as well.
Oh, and the video we promised. Here you go:
