Haylee Bice

About

Meet Haylee Bice, a powerhouse vocalist from Nebraska, blending R&B and pop effortlessly. She began singing at age 11 and has been writing her own music for about 5 years. In 2020, Haylee debuted with her single “To Stand Tall” and later released her project “No Holding Back and Let Me Go.” Her talent shone on national television as a Cabaret singer on Game Of Talents, and she auditioned for NBC’s The Voice last year.

Winning a year of free rent would be life-changing for Haylee. Balancing a full-time job with gigs and songwriting is a constant juggle, and the financial relief would allow her to focus entirely on her music and craft without the stress of rent payments.
