About Hayley Jensen
Award-winning Australian country pop/rock powerhouse Hayley Jensen has cemented her place as one of the most commanding voices and dynamic performers in contemporary country music. A 5 x CMAA Golden Guitar Award Finalist and Australia’s highest-selling female country artist, Jensen’s momentum continues to surge both at home and internationally, captivating audiences across Australia, Canada, the USA and the UK.
Hayley is a 2 x ARIA #1 Country Album artist, with ‘Breakin’ Hearts’ (2021) and ‘Country Soul’ (2025) both hitting #1 on the ARIA Country Chart. ‘Country Soul’ was crowned the Highest Selling Female Country Album in Australia in 2025, ranking #2 overall across the genre behind James Johnston. The album delivered a string of commercial radio successes, with ‘Country Soul’, ‘Giddy Up Cowboy’, ‘Outskirts’ and ‘Stomping Ground’ all entering the Countrytown Top 50 Commercial Radio Charts, while ‘Stomping Ground’ has taken off globally within the line dancing community on TikTok.
Produced predominantly by MSquared (Casey Barnes, James Johnston, Kaylee Bell), the 13-track record expanded Jensen’s signature blend of contemporary country grit, pop polish and rock edge. Her career streaming numbers now surpass 9 Million worldwide.
In January 2026, Jensen took home four Independent Country Music Awards (ICMAs) for Female Artist, Single, Video and Live Performance of the Year, following two ICMA wins in 2025 and her 2024 Most Popular Female Artist victory. She was also nominated for a British Country Music Award for International Single ‘Giddy Up Cowboy’ alongside Lainey Wilson, and is the most nominated artist at the 2026 Countrytown Awards with five nominations including Female Artist, Album of the Year, Tour of the Year and Entertainer of the Year.
