Manager
Dave Steunebrink and Richard Williams

Hayley was found by the above two managers and was immediately signed for a two-year production deal.

In 2015, Williams launched the online beauty and music series Kiss-Off on Popular TV. Also in 2016, Williams launched her own hair dye company, Good Dye Young.

Early life
Hayley Williams was born to Joey and Cristi Williams, on December 27, 1988.
She has two younger half sisters.
As a result of her parents divorcing in 2002, Williams moved to Franklin, Tennessee.
She met former band member Josh and current band member Zac Farro in her new school.
Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning.
While still at school she tried out for a local funk cover band, The Factory, where she met Jeremy Davis.

Music career
Hayley Williams was discovered in 2003 by managers Dave Steunebrink and Richard Williams, who signed the 14-year-old to a two-year production deal.
At the time she was writing pop songs with songwriters in Nashville.
Williams was introduced to Atlantic Records AandR Tom Storms through Richard Williams’ attorneys Jim Zumwalt and Kent Marcus, and then signed to the label by Jason Flom.
The label original plan for their new artist was to make her a solo pop artist but Williams objected to this, saying that she wanted to be part of a band and play pop punk music.

Atlantic decided to go along with her wishes, and she then formed Paramore with Josh Farro, Zac Farro, and Jeremy Davis.
The music of Paramore was originally supposed to come out on Atlantic Records, but the label marketing department decided it would be better for the image of the band to not have them attached to a huge label. They instead released their music through a cooler niche label, Fueled by Ramen.
According to Williams, the name Paramore came from the maiden name of the mother of one of their first bass players.
Once the group learned the meaning of the homophone paramour (secret lover), they decided to adopt the name, using the Paramore spelling.

The band debut album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when Hayley was only 16 years old. Paramore has since released four more studio albums, Riot! (2007), Brand New Eyes (2009), the self-titled Paramore (2013) and After Laughter (2017).

The following year, Hayley Williams and the rest of Paramore made an appearance in the music video for Kiss Me by New Found Glory.

In the 2007 Kerrang! Readers’ Poll, she finished second to Evanescence Amy Lee in the Sexiest Female category, going on to win the first place spot for Sexiest Female a year later in the 2008 poll, and again in the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 poll.
She also appears as a playable character in the video game Guitar Hero World Tour after completing Misery Business in the vocalist campaign.

Personal Trainer
Hayley claims that giving performances on stage is the best workout for her. The continuous motivation from her fans keeps her going and an hour long cardio session makes her feel good.

She drinks herbal tea with an antibacterial Manuka honey.
